Nondestructive testing method for steel fiber orientation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of steel fiber reinforced concrete detection, and particularly relates to a nondestructive detection method for steel fiber orientation.
Background
Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is a widely used building material in modern civil and construction engineering. When the steel fiber is added into the concrete matrix, the development of concrete cracks of the matrix can be blocked, and compared with common concrete, the mechanical properties of the concrete matrix are obviously improved. The mechanical properties of steel fiber concrete depend not only on the fiber content, but also on the direction of the steel fibers in the concrete relative to the direction of the applied stress. Measuring these parameters, in particular in situ measurements, is therefore one of the most important targets.
The current methods applied to steel fiber concrete detection can be divided into destructive detection and nondestructive detection. The most common method of destructive testing to obtain fiber content is to crush the sample and then manually count/weigh the fibers therein. The fiber direction is then evaluated by counting the number of fibers of the broken/cut surface in different directions. However, any destructive method is difficult to apply to quality control of in-situ steel fiber concrete products. Nondestructive testing methods also suffer from problems such as the difficulty of using x-ray methods on a job site due to their high cost. The resistance method is also greatly affected by the difference in contact surface conditions. With the development of electronic equipment and digital processing technology, some nondestructive testing methods based on the electrical characteristics of steel fiber concrete are to be applied to quality control of steel fiber concrete.
In order to obtain better mechanical properties of the steel fiber concrete, fiber orientation is performed by a method of applying an externally applied magnetic field. Forcing the fibers to orient along the direction of the prevailing tensile stress within the structural member will result in an effective increase in the structural use efficiency of the material. The method enables the steel fiber concrete structure to cover longer spans, achieves higher bearing capacity (or even greater lateral load resistance in the earthquake-resistant structure) with reduced cross-sectional dimensions, and also reduces the structural burden of self-bearing. Therefore, for directional steel fiber concrete, the quality control of the internal steel fiber orientation is important.
At present, a method for simply and rapidly judging the orientation of steel fibers in concrete is not available.

Detailed Description
The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in connection with embodiments. It is noted that all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs unless otherwise indicated.
As shown in fig. 1, pulsed eddy currents will generate an ac magnetic field for ac current flowing through the PCB coil (inductor). If a conductive material, such as a metal object, is brought into the vicinity of the coil, this magnetic field will induce eddy currents at the surface of the object. These eddy currents produce a magnetic field that is opposite to the original magnetic field produced by the primary coil. Thereby affecting the resistance and inductance of the primary coil.
Inductance sensor theory of operation: the PCB rectangular coil is connected with the inductance digital sensor through a lead to form a complete monitoring circuit. Inductive sensors implement inductive sensing by measuring inductance and impedance of the LC network. The inside of the sensor comprises a monolithic integrated inductance sensing chip, and only one external inductance and one resonant capacitor are needed to form a resonant circuit to work.
Fig. 3 is a diagram of an LC resonance circuit, L representing the inductance of the PCB coil, rs being the equivalent series resistance of the inductance, C being the external resonance capacitance. The inductance sensor has a high frequency oscillator inside, which continuously outputs a scan signal, and when the external LC network resonates, the impedance of the LC resonant circuit is at a maximum value, and the voltage at the output pin reaches a maximum value. By keeping the output pins at a certain maximum voltage, the LC network remains resonant at all times. When the parallel circuit resonates, its resonant frequency is about:
at resonance, the internal timer counter of the inductive sensor completes the resonance frequency f 0 The inductance L to be measured can be calculated by measuring and knowing the capacitance C. When the PCB rectangular coil rotates along the center point, the long side direction of the PCB rectangular coil is opposite to the steelThe included angle of the fibers changes, and the inductance of the rectangular coil of the PCB is measured to change. When the long side direction of the rectangular coil is consistent with the preferential direction of the steel fiber, the inductance change is the largest. Because the rectangular PCB coil is in a uniaxially symmetric pattern, the inductance signal schematic diagram is also in a uniaxially symmetric pattern.
Because the detection ranges of the PCB rectangular coils with different sizes are different, the detection distance and the detection area are increased along with the increase of the coil size. For steel fiber concrete structures with different thicknesses, the size of the PCB coil can be designed by itself so as to meet the actual requirements of engineering.
As shown in fig. 2, the selected PCB coil is connected to an inductance sensor through a wire, the inductance sensor is connected to a single chip microcomputer through an AD interface, the single chip microcomputer controls the inductance sensor to operate to obtain an inductance L, and the measured inductance value is sent to an upper computer for display through serial communication to obtain an L-t relation curve.
As shown in fig. 4, the steel fiber concrete is divided into areas according to the detection range of the PCB coil, the areas of the areas corresponding to the different PCB coils are different, and the larger the size of the PCB coil is, the larger the area of the corresponding divided area is, as shown in fig. 4. And (3) the PCB rectangular coil is pressed close to the surface of the steel fiber concrete, rotates once every 15 degrees, stands for a period of time, and calculates an average value of 500 data points after the inductance fluctuation range is smaller than 5% when the inductance value measured by the PC end does not obviously fluctuate, so that the final inductance value is obtained, namely, one detection is completed, and each area is detected for one circle.
And reading and recording the inductance signals of the PCB coil through upper computer software, comparing the inductance values measured in different areas, and processing the data to finish drawing an inductance signal diagram, as shown in fig. 5. And judging the preferential direction of the steel fiber by identifying the direction in which the inductance value changes the most.
Taking the steel fiber concrete slab of fig. 4 as an example: the size of the concrete cover plate is 500mm multiplied by 300mm multiplied by 30mm, the area of the divided area is 100mm multiplied by 100mm, 15 areas are provided, and each area PCB coil is measured once every 15 degrees of rotation around the center point, and one circle of measurement is performed.
The inductance change value of the steel fiber concrete in each area is as follows:
ΔL θ =L 0 -L θ
L 0 -inductance value of PCB rectangular coil placed in air
L θ -inductance value of the coil when the long side direction of the rectangular coil of the PCB is at an angle θ ° to the x-axis
