Development of Repair and Restoration Method for the Anchor Load Cells through the Continuous Tensile Force Management

Abstract

  Anchor load cells are often used to manage the tension of ground anchors on expressways, but there are many cases in which measurement is impossible due to deterioration or lightning strikes. To resolve this problem, we developed a new technology to restore anchor load cells while maintaining tension. In this paper, we present the examination results of on-site tensile force data and provide a perspective for continuous tensile force management of ground anchors.
