This invention discloses a three-string multifunctional measuring anchor and its measurement method, belonging to the field of
geotechnical engineering monitoring technology. The anchor consists of an anchor section and three-string steel wire strain gauges connected coaxially in alternating configurations. The three steel wires are distributed at 120° intervals along the circumferential cross-section. The
strain gauge center column is stiffly matched to the anchor body and can be arranged according to the magnitude of the
bending moment. During measurement, the three-string steel wire strain gauges are first calibrated, followed by installation, frequency acquisition, and data calculation. This allows for the simultaneous acquisition of the anchor's
axial strain, maximum curvature and direction,
axial force, and maximum
bending moment. Based on the curvature, further integration can be performed to obtain the deflection and internal settlement curves of the soil and rock
mass, determining the maximum settlement value and location. This invention features a segmented combined structure with flexible length
adaptation, enabling remote automated monitoring. It combines
axial force,
bending moment, and internal
deformation monitoring functions of the soil and rock
mass, and can be used for
safety monitoring of tunnels, slopes, foundation pits, and underground
mining engineering.
