dc.description.abstractIn this study, a flexible strain sensing system that can be applied to full-scale reinforced concrete frame structures is presented. In order to fulfil the criteria for strain detection that are posed by various structural components, the flexible strain gauge is offered in two distinct configurations: one full bridge and one double half bridge. A strain configuration selector is built on the basis of this information. The selector is designed to enable the system to flexibly switch strain modes for measuring axial or bending strain without adjusting the installation location of strain sensors. The first section of this study focuses mostly on elaborating on the methodology behind the development of a flexible strain system. This method was primarily designed with the aim of detecting the abnormalities in the strain field that are brought on by structural damage in order to accomplish the goal of local detection. The creation of a strain configuration selector also enables the conversion between two different strain measures whenever it is necessary without requiring the sensor installation to be moved to a new position, which helps to significantly reduce the amount of cost associated with sensor deployment. The performance of the flexible strain sensing system as well as its sensitivity were evaluated by doing the cyclic load testing on a full-scale RC frame. Both half-bridge and full-bridge strain gauges are installed in the critical components, such as beams and columns. In addition, 14 linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTS) were placed on the RC frame in order to monitor variations in displacement and deformation. The findings of the experiments indicate that the flexible strain sensor exhibits a high degree of sensitivity, and it is therefore suitable for integration into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system for the purpose of tracing the strain caused by localised structural damage. Additionally, it is able to monitor the strain trend on the complete scale of the frame model. In future work, the flexible strain system will be modified and enhanced by using wireless technology for data transmission in order to build a wirelessly integrated structural health monitoring (SHM) system.
