Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of civil engineering, and in particular to a method for detecting effective prestress of an in-service structure based on alternating current impedance of a steel strand. Background Art

[0002] At present, effective prestress detection methods are divided into destructive detection and non-destructive detection. Destructive detection methods include stress release method and reverse pull method. The former will cause greater damage to the steel strand, and the latter will increase the stress of the steel strand, which will have a certain adverse effect on the steel strand. At the same time, the reverse pull method is only applicable before grouting, and it is impossible to measure the prestressed structure in service. Most non-destructive detection methods are based on physical characteristics such as sound, light, heat, electricity, and magnetism to identify effective prestress. Detecting effective prestress through physical characteristics such as light, electricity, and magnetism often relies on pre-embedded sensors, which makes it difficult to measure effective prestress in service structures without pre-embedded sensors or damaged sensors. Effective prestress measurement based on acoustics does not require pre-embedded sensors, but this method is more suitable for thin-walled structures, such as pipes and plate structures. It is difficult to measure tension in complex structures such as prestressed steel strands that are spirally wound with multiple steel wires. Summary of the invention
