Abstract

This article proposes a new technique of monitoring neutral axis positions and deflection of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam during corrosion of steel reinforcement using macro-strain measurements of distributed long-gauge sensors. A different group of distributed long-gauge Packaged Carbon Fiber Line (PCFL) sensors with self-compensation and effective packaging system is installed on the compression and tension fibers of the concrete surface and steel reinforcements of RC beam to verify the proposed method experimentally. An accelerated corrosion method utilizing a salt solution and the constant current was used to achieve the required corrosion levels. The estimated deflection measured by the developed method is compared with the results using Linear Variable Displacement Transducer (LVDTs). It has been demonstrated that long-gauge PCFL sensors could provide the same accuracy. The distributed measured strains were utilized to evaluate the deterioration of the structure’s health with the advance of corrosion. Based on corrosion monitoring experimental results, it can be confirmed that using distributed PCFL sensors mounted on steel reinforcements or concrete surface, the locations and progress of the damage with corrosion time can be detected effectively. The maximum error in the estimated deflection from PCFL sensors mounted on the concrete surface compared to the LVDTs before the onset and after 24 h of accelerated corrosion was 0.5% and 2.5%, respectively.
