Experimental study on damage evolution characteristics of concrete beams embedded with acceleration sensor under cyclic loading
Source abstract
Abstract
Embedded sensors play a crucial·role in long-term health monitoring of cement concrete pavements. Considering that flexural strength is the primary design criterion for cement concrete pavements, a three-point bending fracture test is conducted on concrete beams embedded with acceleration sensors under a cyclic loading regime, this study compares and analyzes the influence of a pre-notch at the bottom of the beam on the mechanical properties of concrete under cyclic loading. The damage evolution characteristics of the concrete beams embedded with acceleration sensors during cyclic loading are systematically analyzed using methods such as acoustic emission systems, digital image correlation, and high-precision extensometers. The vibration response characteristics of the concrete beams are studied by integrating embedded acceleration sensors, and the amplitude frequency characteristics and time-frequency spectrum of acceleration signals are explored through the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). Both the overall and local failure modes of concrete beams are analyzed, forming a multi-source data analysis method that can comprehensively characterize the damage characteristics, strain evolution, and vibration responses of concrete beam components. The research results can provide valuable reference and insights for non-destructive testing and health monitoring of concrete structures.
