Student question: What should be noted when using strain gauges for steel supports?
Answer:
1) The arrangement of strain gauges should be installed before the application of pre-stress, and the initial reading should wait for the bracket to fully cool down during the measurement; If the prestressing force has been applied, the report must indicate that the axial force data of the support reflects the change in force after the prestressing force of the steel support is applied.
2) After welding the installation bracket onto the steel support surface, push the strain gauge in a stable and free state without bending or twisting; The installation of the mounting bracket and strain gauge should be kept parallel to the support axis; When tightening the screws, attention should be paid to controlling the frequency of the strain gauge reasonably; The installation position of the strain gauge should be selected as much as possible in a location suitable for protection.
