ABSTRACT
This study investigates the feasibility of impedance-based stress monitoring method for local-strand breakage detection in multi-strand anchorage systems. Firstly, stress fields of a multi-strand anchorage system are numerically analyzed to examine anchorage's responses sensitive to local strand breakage. Secondly, an impedance-based stress monitoring technique via the PZT interface is outlined. Thirdly, a novel hoop-type PZT interface is designed for the multi-strands anchorage to monitor the stress variation induced by the strand breakage. Local dynamic responses of the hoop-type PZT interface are analyzed to predetermine the effective frequency ranges. Finally, the numerical feasibility of the proposed method is verified on a seven-strand anchorage system under various strand breakage cases. Variations in impedance responses are statistically quantified, and broken strands are localized by linear tomography analysis of damage indices. A lab-scale experiment is also conducted on a multi-strands anchorage to evaluate the realistic performance of the hoop PZT interface for impedance-based stress monitoring method.
