This phenomenon can have a significant impact on the durability and function of concrete structures. Monitoring devices are specialized equipment used to detect the water seepage pressure, flow rate, or seepage performance in concrete structures in real time.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional seepage monitoring devices use welded steel frames to fix concrete specimens. The mold is sealed with bolts and sealing rings. A water pump delivers water pressure to the concrete specimen in the sealed mold. The concrete's impermeability is judged by monitoring the amount of seepage or the pressure decay. The mold relies on bolt fastening and rubber ring sealing, which is prone to leakage under long-term high pressure, affecting the accuracy of the data. It can only test static seepage pressure and cannot monitor the seepage path or internal defects in real time. Utility Model Content

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] Concrete seepage refers to the phenomenon of water infiltrating through internal pores, microcracks, or interface defects. Essentially, it is the migration behavior of fluids driven by capillary action, pressure gradients, and concentration differences. This seepage behavior poses multiple hazards to engineering structures.

[0018] Moisture carries corrosive media such as chloride ions and sulfates into the concrete, accelerating steel corrosion and concrete spalling.

[0019] Long-term water seepage increases the connectivity of pores inside concrete, reduces compressive strength by 20%-40%, and may cause freeze-thaw damage.

[0020] Water seepage in underground engineering projects can cause equipment corrosion, electrical short circuits, and even trigger a chain reaction of foundation settlement.

[0021] Concrete seepage monitoring devices are specialized equipment used to monitor the water seepage pressure, seepage flow rate, or seepage performance in concrete structures in real time. They are primarily used in water conservancy projects, transportation infrastructure, and other fields. Their core functions include: Poor aggregate gradation can lead to the formation of capillary pores in concrete, causing the free water after hydration to evaporate and creating bleeding channels. Inadequate compaction of concrete can lead to various defects, resulting in increased water seepage. Leakage in formwork or improper treatment of construction joints can directly create through-seepage paths. Temperature stress causes plastic shrinkage cracks to form on the surface of large-volume concrete. When water seeps into concrete, it causes carbonation, leading to concrete spalling, exposed reinforcement, and accelerated steel corrosion.

[0022] Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can reduce the compressive strength of concrete by 15%-30%. Chloride ions penetrate through the seepage channels, leading to an increased rate of damage to the passivation film on the steel reinforcement. The carbonation depth of the laitance layer can reach 10-15 mm / year, far exceeding the 2-3 mm / year of normal concrete. Long-term leakage may cause the concrete protective layer to peel off, leading to major defects such as exposed reinforcement.

[0023] The permeability of a structure can be assessed by measuring the pore water pressure or seepage water pressure inside concrete using sensors such as piezometers.

[0024] For example, a seepage meter can quantify the amount of water passing through a concrete cross-section per unit time, reflecting the overall leakage situation.

[0025] Specialized instruments are used to determine the permeability coefficient of concrete through standardized tests, which is then used for quality assessment.
