Geodetic monitoring of deflections of reinforced beams and reinforcing elements under variable static loading

Abstract

In the framework of the present study was carried out monitoring of reinforced concrete structures subjected to reinforcement. As reinforcement elements, steel channels were used, rigidly connected to a reinforced concrete beam to be reinforced. Object of research: systems of quasi-continuous observations of the parameters of the construction object carried out on the basis of the monitoring system. Subject of research: identification of the possibility of using various systems, in particular, geodetic and strain gauge monitoring, to monitor the bending of reinforced concrete elements and, in particular, reinforced concrete beams. Aim: Comparative analysis of strain gauge and geodetic monitoring in the process of fixed changes in static loads on structural elements. Materials and methods: the initial materials for this study were the results of geodesic and strain gauge monitoring during statistical step-by-step loading of reinforced concrete beam by steel channels. Results: on the basis of the obtained dependences of the deflection of elements of reinforced and reinforcing structures in time during their step-by-step statistical loading the possibility of using geodetic control is shown. Conclusions: The possibility of using geodesic and strain gauge methods for monitoring reinforced concrete structures is proved.
