Bridge monitoring system

As a part of the transportation system, bridges play an important role in the development and evolution of human civilization. With the development of modern science and technology and the continuous growth of transportation demand, more and more bridges appear in people's vision. The cost of these bridges is often hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan, which has important strategic significance in transportation, military and social life. However, in the process of construction and use of bridges, due to the erosion of environment, harmful substances, vehicles, wind, earthquake, fatigue, human factors and other factors, as well as the continuous degradation of material properties, all parts of the structure have different degrees of fatigue and damage. If these damages can not be detected and maintained in time, they will affect the traffic safety and shorten the service life of the bridge, and even cause serious safety accidents. Therefore, the bridge monitoring system is an important measure of bridge safety.In the monitoring of bridges, the cable force is an important index to evaluate the health status of steel cable structures. At present, the construction monitoring and longterm monitoring measurement technologies of cable force mainly include: magnetic flux sensor measurement technology, hydraulic anchor cable force sensor, fiber Bragg grating anchor cable force sensor, string anchor cable force sensor.Measurement technology of magnetic flux sensor

1. Principle and application field of magnetic flux sensor

The magnetic flux sensor is based on the principle of magnetoelastic effect of ferromagnetic materials. That is, when the external mechanical load of ferromagnetic material changes, its internal magnetization (permeability) changes. The internal force of the component is measured by measuring the permeability change of the component made of ferromagnetic material. It can effectively measure the stress of cables and prestressed tendons. It is a non-destructive testing technology.

The magnetic flux sensor can be applied to the cable force test of cablestayed bridge, the cable force test of suspender and tie bar of tied arch bridge, the cable force test of suspension bridge, the cable force test of suspension structure, the tension test of tension member in tension structure, the tension test of external cable and prestressed reinforcement in prestressed concrete structure, and the anchor cable force test of geotechnical engineering, Test of ring anchor cable force in hydropower project.

2. Structure of magnetic sensorThe magnetic flux sensor consists of two copper coils, the primary coil and the secondary coil. When the primary coil is connected with a pulse current, it will generate an instantaneous current in the secondary coil due to the presence of an iron core. The current intensity and voltage generated by electromagnetic induction depend on the permeability of iron core material, and the permeability of iron core material is related to the stress state of iron core. The measurement is realized according to the relationship between induced voltage and stress.

Hydraulic anchor cable force sensor

1. Measuring principle of hydraulic anchor cable force sensor

The liquid pressure in the elastic body cavity is used to sense the force exerted on it.

2. Structural composition

The sensor is mainly composed of guide ring, elastomer, special inert liquid and hydraulic transmitter. The special inert liquid fills the cavity of the elastomer compactly. The structure of the guide ring and the elastomer ensures that the pressure can be transferred to the special inert liquid. The hydraulic transmitter can accurately measure the pressure of the liquid in the elastic body cavity and convert it into current signal output. Through the calibration, the one-to-one correspondence between the external force and the current value is established, and the external pressure value is obtained from the measured current value in actual use.

Fiber Bragg grating anchor cable force sensor

Fiber Bragg grating anchor cable force sensor is widely used in slope, bridge, water conservancy dam, etc. when the measured load acts on the fiber Bragg grating anchor cable force sensor, it will cause the deformation of the elastic cylinder and transfer to the fiber Bragg grating. According to the wavelength change of the fiber Bragg grating, the stress of the fiber Bragg grating can be changed. The optical signal is transmitted to the fiber Bragg grating analyzer through the optical cable, then the stress value can be measured and read out, and the total load value acting on the fiber grating anchor cable force sensor can be calculated.
