A New Measuring Method of Tension in Cable and Its Experimental Verification Wang Gongwen1, a, Sun Wenbo2, b, Zhou Weijian2, c 1College of Civil Engineering and Transportation in SCUT, Guangzhou, 510641, China 2Architectural Design Research Institute of SCUT, Guangzhou, 510641, China aemail: 425384549@qq.com, bemail: sunwenbo@scut.edu.cn, cemail: 79993655@qq.com Keywords: Measurement of Tension in Cable; Pin Connection; FEM; Laser Scanner Abstract.
In order to ensure the safety of the cable, an accurate, fast and convenient measurement of tension in cable is needed in engineering.
A new non-destructive method on the measurement of tension in cable is innovatively proposed in this paper, and then a confirmatory test is conducted to test and verify the validity, feasibility and stability of the method in engineering.
For the sake of popularizing and applying this method conveniently in engineering, it is necessary to carry out further research on the principles and submit a specific set of parameters or formulas.
