  • Patent number: 11946923
    Abstract: A device and method for monitoring freezing-thawing damage of an underwater concrete member in situ. A main structure includes an upper link, concrete member, transverse sealed box, longitudinal sealed box, movable guide rod, probe launching box, multichannel data collector, frequency modulation transmitter, computer, auxiliary wheels, lower link, and a wireless temperature sensor. A process includes four steps: launching of a probe, collection of data, calculation of an elastic modulus, and evaluation of freezing-thawing damage.

  • Patent number: 11703474
    Abstract: The present application belongs to the technical field of monitoring of durability of concrete, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing a structure of an electrical capacitance tomography sensor and analyzing an electromagnetic field. A specific process of the method includes eight steps: parameter setting, geometric setting, material setting, mesh generation, physical field setting, solution, sensor structure optimization and calculation of electromagnetic field distribution. The method proposes a new concept for solving a forward problem of an ECT system based on COMSOL software. After modeling is completed, uniformity of a sensitive field of the ECT sensor is analyzed according to calculation results, and structural parameter values of components of the ECT sensor are adjusted to seek an optimal design scheme.

  • Patent number: 11680884
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for testing water absorption of concrete in a direction parallel with load applying direction are provided. The apparatus includes a loading device, a water filling device, and a monitoring device. The loading device includes an upper support plate and a lower support plate connected with the upper support plate via multiple threaded rods, and a space for placing a concrete specimen formed between the upper support plate and the lower support plate. The water filling device includes a water filling cylinder having a side connected with a water supply tank via an inlet pipe, and another side connected with a water storage tank via an outlet pipe. The monitoring device includes a mass sensor arranged under the water storage tank and a strain gauge for detecting change of stress of the concrete specimen.
