一种监测钢筋腐蚀的光纤光栅传感器的研究

钢筋腐蚀是导致钢筋混凝土结构耐久性劣化的最重要因素之一。钢筋腐蚀将导致钢筋体积大大增加,混凝土保护层开裂、剥落,结构承载力下降,甚至倒塌。基于光纤布拉格光栅应变传感器的原理,根据钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,提出了一种新的钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器及温度补偿方法。传感器构造是在两根紧靠的钢筋中心附近粘贴光纤光栅,由于钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,钢筋直径增加将转变成布拉格光纤光栅的应变,从而实现对钢筋腐蚀程度及速率的监测。传感器的监测原理是设置一个钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器来监测由于钢筋腐蚀和温度变化引起的光栅应变,同时单独设置一个不锈钢光纤光栅传感器来测量温度引起的光栅应变。这两个光纤光栅传感器的应变监测,可分离出钢筋由于腐蚀所引起的体积变化。在混凝土结构中埋入封装的传感器,通过监测光纤光栅波长的漂移可以直接测量钢筋腐蚀程度,而且不受腐蚀因素的影响,可用于混凝土结构中钢筋腐蚀的早期监测。最后通过实验标定了钢筋腐蚀率与光栅波长位移的关系。

Study of an Optical Fiber Grating Sensor for Monitoring Corrosion of Reinforcing Steel

Based on the principle of the fiber Bragg grating strain sensor as well as the volume expansion of the reinforcing steel due to corrosion,an optical fiber grating sensor for monitoring corrosion of reinforcing steel and the method of temperature compensation were studied in the present paper.The sensor construction is that one Bragg grating is stuck on the inner center of two bars against each other,and the reinforcement volume as well as the diameter will expand due to corrosion.Based upon sensing mechanis...
