  • Patent number: 10844619
    Abstract: A system for monitoring tension forces of tendons disposed inside a concrete structure in post-tensioning includes a hydraulic jack coupled to one tendon at one end of the concrete structure to apply the tension force to the tendon by means of the forward movement of a piston; a hydraulic pump connected to the hydraulic jack by means of a hydraulic pressure supply pipe to supply a hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic jack; a digital elongation length measurement sensor disposed on the hydraulic jack to measure the elongation length of the piston; a measurement unit having a data logger adapted to receive and store the elongation length data measured by the digital elongation length measurement sensor and to send the elongation length data to a main server; a digital pressure measurement sensor disposed on the hydraulic pressure supply pipe of the hydraulic pump; and a control module adapted to receive the elongation length data from the data logger or the main server, calculate the tension force, compensate fo

  • Publication number: 20170284111
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for monitoring tension forces of tendons in post-tensioning that accurately measures the tension forces of the tendons and/or controls the tension forces introduced into the tendons through a main server, thereby allowing the tension forces to be applied uniformly to the tendons.
