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 for the coefficient of elasticity of the tendon according to the ratio of the real-time elongation length data to the pressure data, and compensate for the tension force calculated.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for monitoring real-time tension force of a tendon disposed inside a structure in post-tensioning, the method comprising:\n measuring real-time position data of a movable piston coupled to a jack attached to one end of the tendon; receiving the real-time position data in a data logging memory; storing the real-time position data in the data logging memory; transmitting the real-time position data from the data logging memory to a main server via a wired or a wireless network; calculating the real-time tension force of the tendon using the real-time position data; and outputting the calculated real-time tension force to an interface.
