Abstract

In this paper, a laser-based non-contact load cell is newly developed for measuring forces in prestressed concrete tendons. First, alumina particles have been sprayed onto an empty load cell which has no strain gauges on it, and the layer has been used as a passive stress sensor. Then, the spectral shifts in fluorescence spectroscopy have been measured using a laser-based spectroscopic system under various force levels, and it has been found that the relation of applied force and spectral shift is linear in a lab-scale test. To validate the field applicability of the customized load cell, a full-scale prestressed concrete specimen has been constructed in a yard. During the field test, it was, however, found that the coating surface has irregular stress distribution. Therefore, the location of a probe has to be fixed onto the customized load cell for using the coating layer as a passive stress sensor. So, a prototype customized load cell has been manufactured, which consists of a probe mount on its casing. Then, by performing lab-scale uniaxial compression tests with the prototype load cell, a linear relation between compression stress and spectrum shift at a specific point where laser light had been illuminated has been detected. Thus, it has a high possibility to use the prototype load cell as a force sensor of prestressed concrete tendons.

본 논문에서는 레이저기반 응력측정을 위한 비접촉식 로드셀을 개발을 위하여, 실내실험을 통하여 기술을 검증하고, 실규모 실험을 통하여 문제점을 파악하였으며, 최종적으로 현장적용에 적합한 응력측정용 비접촉식 로드셀 프로토타입을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여, 중심공 압축타입의 로드셀 제작에 사용되는 로드셀 몸체 표면에 용사코팅기술을 이용하여 알루미나를 도포하고, 레이저를 기반으로한 압분광법을 이용하여, 비접촉식으로 응력을 계측하였다. 이때, 인가되는 응력과 스펙트럼 이동간의 관계가 선형임을 확인하였다. 해당 기술의 현장 적용성 확인을 위하여, 실규모 프리스트레스 콘크리트 시편을 제작하고, 레이저를 조사하여 인가된 응력을 확인하는 과정에서, 반복적인 상황 하에서 레이저 조사 위치가 동일해야 함을 확인하였다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 프로브를 고정할 수 있는 케이싱이 포함된 로드셀 프로토타입을 제작하였고, 실내일축압축시험을 통하여 압축력과 스펙트럼 이동간의 선형성을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 비접촉식 로드셀을 이용하여, 압축력을 효과적으로 측정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
