Abstract

The present disclosure belongs to a technical field of monitoring of durability of concrete, and relates to an electrical capacitance tomography sensor calibration method. A process of the method includes five steps of preparation of concrete sample, equipment connection, preparation work, measurement of capacitance values and normalization. Two same ECT sensors are used to implement off—line calibration and on—line measurement; and the calibrated concrete samples are placed inside the ECT sensor for on—line calibration to visually monitor unsaturated moisture transmission inside the concrete samples. Compared with direct moisture calibration, the calibration of concrete samples with different saturation prepared through a blast drying oven, can more realistically simulate the moisture inside the concrete samples in a real environment; the calibration process is simple and fast, and can correct the normalized capacitance values in time, thereby improving the accuracy of ECT imaging, achieving accurate calibration of visual monitoring of unsaturated moisture transmission in a cement—based material, and overcoming the shortcoming that a conventional calibration method is not suitable for a monitoring process of liquid—solid two—phase flow of a cement—based material.

Description

P728/NLpd
ELECTRICAL CAPACITANCE TOMOGRAPHY SENSOR CALIBRATION METHOD
TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a technical field of moni- toring of durability of concrete, in particular to an electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) sensor calibration method.
BACKGROUND The description of this part is merely intended to provide background information related to the present disclosure, and does not necessarily constitute the prior art.
At present, concrete structures have become one of the most widely used building structures in modern engineering construc- tion. However, the service lives of concrete structures cannot reach the designed service lives because the concrete structures will be affected by load and environment during an actual service process. There are many reasons for durability failure of con- crete, where existence and migration of moisture are important factors that cause degradation of concrete. On the one hand, mois- ture is a carrier for a corrosive substance to enter the concrete. On the other hand, moisture is also a necessary condition for an occurrence of a degradation reaction process. Therefore, it is of great significance to dynamically monitor and quantitatively ana- lyze a moisture transmission process based on a visualization technology.
ECT is a tomography technology based on a capacitance sensi- tive mechanism, which has advantages of no invasion, fast re- sponse, wide application range, low cost, no radiation, portabil- ity, etc. Therefore, it is widely applied to visual monitoring of gas-solid two-phase flow, gas-liquid two-phase flow, oil-water two-phase flow, liquid-solid two-phase flow and the like, and is the fastest growing and most mature tomography technology in pro- cess tomography. The ECT technology can be used to research the law of water transmission in a concrete structure, which accords with the research law of liguid-solid two-phase flow, and provides effective technical support for more objective and accurate evalu- ation of the durability of a concrete structure.
An ECT system consists of a capacitance sensor array, a data acquisition and information processing system and an imaging com- puter.
Even for an vacuum sensor, an inherent soft field charac- teristic of an ECT sensor causes extremely non-uniform distribu- tion of a sensitive field, which greatly affects the quality of image reconstruction; and the non-uniformity depends on structural parameters of a capacitance sensor, therefore, a design for the capacitance sensor array is one of the key and core technologies for the ECT system, and is an important precondition for realizing two-dimensional imaging of unsaturated moisture transmission in a cement-based material.
However, in a process of monitoring flowing of liquid-solid two-phase flow in moisture transmission in the concrete, the sys- tem acquires and processes a limited number of tiny capacitance values, which is very sensitive to measurement noise and interfer- ence.
In addition, image reconstruction, namely a solution process of an inverse problem, has the difficulties as follows: (1) under- determinedness due to a voltage measurement value being far lower than unknown variables of the equation; (2) the soft field charac- teristic caused by polarization of an dielectric medium in an electric field; and (3) ill-posedness caused by the insensitivity of a boundary measurement value to changes of a medium in a cen- tral area, which lead to a large error and low resolution in data acquisition and image reconstruction of the ECT system.
Thus in an image reconstruction process, the acquired capacitance data needs to be normalized to realize non-dimensionalization, so as to fa- cilitate calculations and reduce an influence of measurement er- rors.
Since concrete and water in a measured object field are dis- tributed in parallel, a normalized capacitarce value is obtained by using a parallel model: he Tbs ‚ where C, represents a measured capacitance value, C. represents an empty field capaci- tance value, Cr represents a full field capacitance value, and A represents a normalized capacitance value and has a linear rela- tionship with the measured capacitance value.
In the process of monitoring moisture transmission in the concrete by the ECT system, empty and full field capacitance val- ues, i.e. a maximum capacitance value and a minimum capacitance value acquired in an unsaturated moisture transmission process in a concrete component, need to be measured, to determine a func- tional relationship between medium distribution and a normalized capacitance value, and this process is considered as a calibration process of ECT imaging. Since different mix proportions and types of concrete components will lead to a change of mixed dielectric constant when the moisture enters, which causes a change of a nor- malized capacitance, and accordingly affects the accuracy of image reconstruction. Therefore, re-calibration is required when the concrete components are replaced with new ones.
A conventional calibration method includes the following steps: removing an ECT sensor, acquiring capacitance values under an empty tube state and a full tube state to obtain a maximum val- ue and a minimum value in a monitoring process to complete the calibration. Herein, it is assumed that a capacitance value be- tween the maximum value and the minimum value has a linear rela- tionship with a moisture content; however, in an actual measure- ment process, a relative dielectric constant (about 80) of water is much larger than a relative dielectric constant (6-8) of dry concrete, so that the relative dielectric constant will have a great change after mediums are mixed, and thus the calibration method in which a linear relationship is assumed will cause larger errors; and moreover, the ECT sensor needs to be removed and re- calibrated every time a new concrete component is monitored. Fur- thermore, the removal and installation of the ECT sensor will cause unnecessary errors and be time-consuming and labor- intensive. In recent 30 years, the ECT technology has developed rapidly, becomes one of the fastest growing tomography technolo- gies in a process tomography technology; and has made a variety of achievements in the fields such as pneumatic transmission, fluid- ized bed, petroleum and chemical industry. However, there are few related reports on the ECT technology in the field of cement-based materials, and there are also no patent documents about ECT sensor calibration methods in the field of the cement-based materials. Based on interdisciplinary researches, the ECT technology is applied to the field of the cement-based materials; an electrode sensor array for monitoring moisture transmission in the cement- based materials based on capacitance measurement is developed; a more accurate sensor calibration method is explored; advanced ECT sensors and calibration methods are used to give priority to a du- rability research of the cement-based materials in laboratories; the research is carried out from the aspects of moisture monitor- ing; crack monitoring, rebar position monitoring and harmful ion monitoring in the cement-based materials; in addition, with con- tinuous technological innovation and equipment improvement, it can be predicted that the advanced ECT sensors and calibration methods can be applied to real-time nondestructive monitoring of internal medium distribution in large concrete projects such as roads, bridges, subway tunnels and dams in the future, thereby knowing the dynamic distribution of the moisture in the concrete in time, and providing new research concepts and means for the research of the durability of concrete structures; and in this way, better evaluation of material transmission performances of concrete structures is achieved, and accurate prediction of structural du- rability is achieved as well.
SUMMARY The present disclosure intends to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional art and seeks to design an ECT sensor calibra- tion method, which provides a theoretical basis for accurately monitoring unsaturated moisture transmission in a concrete compo- nent and can calibrate a relationship between a moisture content and a capacitance response value in moisture transmission in the concrete component. In order to achieve the above effects, a specific process of the ECT sensor calibration method of the present disclosure in- cludes five steps of preparation of concrete sample, equipment connection, preparation work, measurement of capacitance value and normalization;
(1) preparation of concrete sample: preparing a concrete sam- ple with a cylindrical structure; removing a mold 24 hours after pouring; placing the concrete sample in a constant-temperature and constant-humidity standard curing room for 7 days; taking out the 5 concrete sample and symmetrically cutting off two ends of the con- crete sample to eliminate influences of the ends and rinse off; and forming a test sample by using the remaining middle 5 cm of the concrete sample; (2) equipment connection: taking one of two ECT sensors as an ECT sensor for off-line calibration connected with a digital elec- tric bridge, and another of the two ECT sensors is taken as an ECT sensor for on-line measurement connected with an imaging computer through a data acguisition box; (3) preparation work: drying the concrete sample in a blast drying oven at 105 °C to be constant in weight; taking out and weighing the concrete sample to record mass of the concrete sample as m,; placing the concrete sample in an intelligent vacuum con- crete water saturator to conduct water saturation for 22 hours to form a water-saturated sample with saturation of 100%; taking out and weighing the water-saturated sample to record mass of the wa- ter-saturated sample as m; and then fixedly placing the water- saturated sample inside the ECT sensor for off-line calibration; (4) measurement of capacitance values: sequentially measuring capacitance values between electrode pairs of the water-saturated sample according to an above measurement mode, wherein a number of N= £2 _ zis) the measured electrode pairs is > = ; after measure- ment is completed, removing the water-saturated sample and drying it in the blast drying oven at 105 °C; obtaining real-time mass m, of the sample by using a staged weighing method; calculating satu- ration of the sample by adopting a dynamic monitoring method ac- = By” Me x HK cording to a formula: a = Mg ; repeating above steps to sequentially prepare samples with saturation of 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20% and 10% respectively; saving capacitance values corresponding to saturation of the samples; and (5) normalization: deriving capacitance value data from the digital electric bridge; normalizing the capacitance values ac- cording to a capacitance normalization parallel model; taking an ECT sensor with a dry concrete sample as an empty tube which is normalized to be “0%; taking an ECT sensor with a water-saturated sample as a full tube which is normalized to be “1”; and determin- ing a functional relationship of a moisture content and a normal- ized capacitance value according to a total of 11 capacitance val- ues (one for every 10%) corresponding to the saturation 0-100% to complete calibration.
During calibration of the ECT sensor calibration method re- lated to the present disclosure, an electrode pair measurement mode is consistent with an on-line monitoring electrode pair meas- urement mode and comprises an excitation mode, a measurement mode and a grounding mode; in a process of monitoring unsaturated mois- ture transmission in the concrete sample on line, an accurate cor- respondence among the moisture content, the normalized capacitance value, a relative dielectric constant value and an image gray val- ue of the concrete sample is achieved.
The ECT sensor related to the present disclosure is an ECT sensor disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201910904259.1 for monitor- ing moisture transmission in a concrete component.
Compared with the conventional art, according to the ECT sen- sor calibration method of the present disclosure, two same ECT sensors are used to implement off-line calibration and on-line measurement, and a digital electric bridge is used to implement the off-line calibration, and thus errors caused by under- determinedness, ill-posedness and soft field characteristics of image reconstruction in on-line calibration are avoided; a high speed and a high accuracy are achieved by conducting calibration using original data; and the calibrated concrete samples are placed in the ECT sensor for on-line calibration to visually moni- tor the unsaturated moisture transmission inside the concrete sam- ples, thereby saving complicated steps of removing and mounting the sensor in a conventional calibration method and avoiding er- rors caused by removing and mounting the sensor. Compared with di- rect moisture calibration, the calibration by preparing the con- crete samples with different saturation through a blast drying ov-
en can more realistically simulate the moisture in the concrete samples in a real environment, has a simple and fast calibration process, can correct the normalized capacitance values in time, and improves the accuracy of ECT imaging. The present disclosure optimizes a calibration method for an assumed linear function of a conventional sensor, more accurately reflects a functional rela- tionship between capacitance, a relative dielectric constant and the moisture by adopting a plurality of values during the process, achieves accurate calibration of visual monitoring of unsaturated moisture transmission in a cement-based material, overcomes the shortcoming that a conventional calibration method is not suitable for a monitoring process of liquid-solid two-phase flow of a ce- ment-based material, and provides a theoretical basis for visual monitoring of unsaturated moisture transmission in the cement- based material.
