This sensing skin is constituted of a flexible electronic termed soft elastomeric (SEC) capacitor, which detects a change in strain through changes in capacitance. The SEC is a low cost and robust sensing technology that has previously been studied for the monitoring of fatigue cracks in steel bridges. The sensor is highly elastic and as such offers a unique capability to detect and monitor the growth of cracks in structural elements. In this study, an array of surfacedeployed SECs was used to detect and locate bending-induced cracks. To validate the proposed approach, an experimental campaign was conducted using reinforced concrete beams. Threepoint bending tests were conducted on two small-scale reinforced concrete beams. Different configurations of SEC arrays were used on the two specimens to assess the capacity and limitation of the proposed approach. Results show that the sensing skin was capable of detecting and localizing cracks that formed in both specimens. Additionally, the sensor is shown to offer a good signal-to-noise ratio and thus could represent a cost-effective alternative to current sensing technologies for the monitoring of cracks in concrete structures.","PeriodicalId":206558,"journal":{"name":"Structures Congress 2019","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114348025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental program included ten concrete columns with rectangular cross-section (203 × 305 mm) where nine of them were reinforced with #6 GFRP bars and one of them was reinforced with steel rebars. Three different reinforcement ratios of 4.70, 2.82, and 2.04 as well as four slenderness ratios of 17, 22, 40, and 60 were considered under two load eccentricities of 0.1 and 0.25 of width of the cross-section. The analytical model considered the material nonlinearity as well as the geometric nonlinearity. The model was verified against an independent experimental program. The model showed that as the load eccentricity and slenderness ratio increase, the load capacity decreases and as the reinforcement ratios increases, the load capacity slightly increases which shows effectiveness of GFRP bars in compression.","PeriodicalId":206558,"journal":{"name":"Structures Congress 2019","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131642969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
