Experimental Study on Reliability of Wireless Sensors for Monitoring Corrosion of Reinforcing Bars

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is urgent to study the reliability of wireless sensors for monitoring corrosion in concrete under different environmental stress. Therefore, after the analysis of failure mechanism for wireless sensors, four reliability tests, i.e. salt solution erosion test, impact test, high temperature and humid test and low temperature test, had been conducted. Signals of the sensors were analyzed through the interval estimation. It is shown that the signals of the sensors present high stability and the reliability of sensors reaches 95% in the respective confidence interval within the temperature range of-30°C~50°C. While the signals increase rapidly at the beginning, and then slowly increase to a flat level in the end within 50°C~90°C. Data from the impact test and salt solution erosion test also indicate that the sensors also present high stability and reliability.
