Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of civil engineering, in particular to a method for detecting effective prestress of a structure in service based on alternating current impedance of steel strand. BACKGROUND

[0002] Current effective prestress detection methods are divided into destructive detection and non-destructive detection. The destructive detection method includes stress release method and reverse tension method. The former causes great damage to the steel strand, and the latter increases the stress of the steel strand, which has certain adverse effects on the steel strand. At the same time, the reverse tension method is only applicable to before grouting, and cannot be used to measure the effective prestress of the structure in service. The non-destructive detection method is mostly based on the physical characteristics of sound, light, heat, electricity and magnetism to identify the effective prestress. The detection of effective prestress through light, electricity and magnetism often relies on pre-embedded sensors, and it is difficult to measure the effective prestress of the structure in service without pre-embedded sensors or damaged sensors. The effective prestress measurement based on acoustics does not require pre-embedded sensors, but this method is more suitable for thin-walled structures such as pipelines and plate structures, and it is difficult to measure the tension of the complex structure of the prestressed steel strand which is spirally wound by multiple steel wires.
