The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete durability monitoring. The invention particularly relates to an ECT sensor structure optimization and
electromagnetic field analysis method. The technological process comprises eight steps including parameter setting, geometric setting, material setting,
mesh generation,
physical field setting, solving, sensor structure optimization and
electromagnetic field distribution calculation. A new idea is provided for solving the positive problem of an ECT
system based on
software COMSOL. After modeling is completed, the uniformity degree of thesensitive field of an ECT sensor is analyzed through a calculation result, structure parameter values of all parts of the ECT sensor are adjusted, an
optimal design scheme is searched for, meanwhile,change of the internal
electromagnetic field when a concrete structure contains water can be visually and clearly observed, the relation between the internal
moisture content of the concrete structure and the relative
dielectric constant is obtained, the accuracy of imaging the internal
moisture content of the concrete structure through the ECT technology is improved, and a new
verification method is provided for the durability test of the concrete structure.
