  • Measuring the tensile strength of steel cables used to support bridges is a critical inspection item in terms of the safety of a bridge. Today, cable tension is measured with the vibration method and loadcell. Recently, some advanced countries have conducted studies on measuring tension with magnetic method and are suggesting prospective results. Since there were no such studies ongoing in Korea, we began a study on measuring tension with magnetic method as we are undergoing researches to improve the precision of measurements. It is necessary to consider the influence for the magnetic field and the temperature of steel cables in tension measurement of magnetic method. In this paper, we tested an output characteristic of tension sensor according to temperature and deduced temperature compensation coefficient in the given magnetic field and applied the compensation coefficient to the tension measurement system in the lab. We analyzed and evaluated testing results for the output voltages of the tension sensor according to cable tensions.

  • Safety of large scale cable in bridge is very important because it may cause the unwanted catastrophic failure. Although the proof load were considered at the design stage, its soundness must be monitored continuously because the cable may be broken out without warning by the variable external load. The cable tension of in-use structures has been mainly measured by the resonance method and its use has been limited because of relatively large measurement uncertainty. Recently a new magnetic method was developed and its reliability is known to be good for evaluating the cable tension. In this study a system which can deliver the calibrated load to the cable was developed and the measurement reliability of developed magnetic sensor according to the change of external load was analyzed quantitatively. The effect of magnetization frequency, bias magnetic field, and temperature on the sensor output was also evaluated.

  • 사장교에서 케이블은 하중을 지지하는 주요 부재로, 케이블 장력은 사장교의 건전성과 안전도 평가에 있어서 매우 중요한 변수이다. 케이블 장력을 추정하기 위한 대표적인 방법으로는 로드셀을 이용한 직접법과 진동 계측 자료를 이용한 간접법 등이 있으며, 최근에는 자기장-응력 관계를 이용한 EM(Elasto-Magnetic) 센서 측정법이 개발되어 케이블 장력 추정에 적용되었다. 본 논문에서는 세 가지 장력 추정 기법을 실제 시공중인 사장교에 적용하여, 그 성능을 상호 비교하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 KAIST와 미국 Northeastern 대학교의 공동연구로 수행되었다. 대상 교량은 부산 화명동과 김해 초정리를 연결하기 위해 현재 건설중인 화명대교이다. 화명대교의 교량 형식은 2주탑 콘크리트 사장교 (주탑 경간장 270m, 총 사장교 구간장 500m)이며, 사장재로는 MS (Multi-Strand) 형 케이블이 사용되었다. 실험 당시 화명대교는 중앙경간의 폐합 후 선형관리를 위한 장력조정작업을 수행하였으며, 케이블 재긴장시의 정확한 장력관리를 위하여 로드셀을 이용한 Lift-off test방법으로 케이블의 장력을 측정하였다. 이와 동시에 두 개의 케이블을 대상으로 진동 가속도 센서와 EM 센서를 설치하고 장력 계측을 수행하였으며, 재긴장 단계별 장력 변화치를 지속적으로 계측하였다. 계측된 결과를 바탕으로 케이블 장력 추정 기법의 정확성 및 실교량에서의 활용성을 비교하였다.

  • Ground anchor method is one of the most popular reinforcing technology for slope in Korea. For the health monitoring of slope which is reinforced by permanent anchor for a long period, monitoring of the tension force of ground anchor is very important. However, since electromechanical sensors such as strain gauge and V/W type load cell are also subject to long-term risk as well as suffering from noise during long distance transmission and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), optical FBG sensors embedded tendon was developed to measure strain of 7-wire strand by embedding FBG sensor into the center king cable of 7-wire strand. This FBG sensors embedded tendon has been successfully applied to measuring the short-term anchor force. But to adopt this tendon to long-term monitoring, temperature compensation of the FBG sensors embedded tendon should be done. In this paper, we described how to compensate the effect in compliance with the change of underground temperature during long-term tension force monitoring of ground anchors by using optical fiber sensors (FBG: Fiber Bragg Grating). The model test was carried out to determine the temperature sensitivity coefficient (${\beta}^{\prime}$) of FBG sensors embedded tendon. The determined temperature sensitivity coefficient ${\beta}^{\prime}=2.0{\times}10^{-5}/^{\circ}C$ was verified by comparing the ground temperatures predicted from the proposed sensor using ${\beta}^{\prime}$ with ground temperatures measured from ground thermometer. Finally, temperature compensations were carried out based on ${\beta}^{\prime}$ value and ground temperature measurement from KMA for the tension force monitoring results of tension type and compression type anchors, which had been installed more than 1 year before at the test site. Temperature compensated tension forces are compared with those measured from conventional load cell during the same measuring time. Test results show that determined temperature sensitivity coefficient (${\beta}^{\prime}$) of FBG sensors embedded tendon is valid and proposed temperature compensation method is also appropriate from the fact that the temperature compensated tension forces are not dependent on the change of ground temperature and are consistent with the tension forces measured from the conventional load cell.

  • With the substantial increase of the size of structure, the management of excavation becomes more difficult. Therefore, massive collapses which are related to retaining wall recently increase. However, since the study on measuring and monitoring the pre-stressing force of anchor is insufficient, behavior of anchor may not be predicted and monitored appropriately by the existing strain gauge and load cell type monitoring system. FBG Sensor, which is smaller than strain gauge and has better durability and does not have a noise from electromagnetic waves, is adapted to measure the strain and pre-stressing force of 7-wire strand, so called smart tendon. A series of pullout tests were performed to verify the feasibility of smart tendon and find out the load transfer mechanism around the steel wire tendon fixed to rock with grout. Distribution of measured strains and estimated shear stresses are compared with those predicted by theoretical solutions. It was found that developed smart tendon can be used effectively for measuring strain of 7-wire strand anchor and theoretical solutions underestimate the magnitude of shear stress and load transfer depth.
