Abstract

This paper presents a new technique for monitoring the concrete curing process using embedded piezoelectric transducers via admittance measurements. When a piezoelectric transducer is embedded in a structure, the electrical impedance (admittance) of the transducer is coupled with the mechanical impedance of the host structure, which allows monitoring of the structural condition. In this study, the admittance signatures are used for monitoring the concrete curing process. This new method is based on an admittance-based sensor diagnostic process, in which the capacitance values of the piezoelectric transducers are dependent on the strength of the host structure. We numerically and experimentally investigated the variations in capacitive value during the curing process. The results demonstrate that there is a clear relationship between the concrete curing status and the slope, this indicates that the proposed method could be efficiently used for monitoring the curing status of a concrete structure.

콘크리트는 건축물에 가장 많이 사용되는 재료 중 하나이다. 건축물 시공 시 적절한 하중 재하시점을 결정하기 위해 콘크리트의 경화 상태의 점검은 매우 중요한 사항이다. 또한 부정확한 경화 모니터링은 건축물의 부실공사 혹은 붕괴로 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 어드미턴스를 기반으로 한 압전체 센서 자가진단기법을 확장 적용한 콘크리트 경화 모니터링 기법을 개발하였다. 이 기법을 통해 콘크리트의 경화를 모니터링 하였으며 실험 결과 분석을 통해 본 기법의 상대강도 추정 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 경화 시 발현강도에 따른 어드미턴스 신호 예측을 위해 수치적 모델링을 하였으며 실험 결과와 경화 진행 경향성을 비교하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 개발한 기법의 효용성을 실험 및 수치적으로 확인하였다.
