DYNA Force Sensors for Load Monitoring

Introduction

On many occasions during the

construction and service life of a structure
is it beneficial to know the force in the
tension element of the post-tensioning
system. Although there are many methods
to measure the tendon force, most of them
are cumbersome, expensive, and the
accuracy differs depending on the method
used. DYWIDAG has been involved in
the development, testing and execution
of DYNA Force to measure the force
in the tendon. DYNA Force is utilized
for ground anchors, soil nails, in cable
stay bridges and structures to measure
the forces during construction and to
monitor forces during the service life of the
structure. Valuable information about load
distribution can be obtained if sensors are
placed along the bond length of ground
anchors or soil nails. DYNA Force can be
used for bare, epoxy-coated and greased-
sheathed steel.
Power-Stress Unit

Advantages and Characteristics

DYNA Force is manufactured based The accuracy of the force measurement is

DYNA Force Sensor
on a DYWIDAG THREADBAR
on the theory that the permeability of
steel to a magnetic field changes with the
stress level in the steel. By measuring the
change in a magnetic field, the magnitude
of the stress in the steel element can be
obtained. The DYNA Force system
does not alter the characteristics of the
tendon other than its magnetization. The
permeability is a function of temperature
and magnetization. A calibration process
eliminates the impact of these variables.
The system considers the effect of the
temperature change automatically.
A portable Power Stress unit is attached
to wire leads from the DYNA Force
sensor. This unit will create the magnetic
field, measure the residual value and then
convert it to a direct force reading.
within 1%. The DYNA Force system is
robust, requires no maintenance and has no
moving parts. It is composed of cylindrical,
non-contact sensors and a Power Stress
unit (read-out box). DYNA Force sensors
are installed over the strand or bar during
construction and a zero reading is taken
before applying any post-tensioning force.
It is expected to have a similar service life
as structure. This will allow the owner to
regularly monitor the forces in the post-
tensioning system in minutes as a part
of their inspection procedures without
the need for lift-off equipment or other
special expensive techniques. Monitoring
with DYNA Force also avoids the
inaccuracies and risks often associated
with lift-off readings. Performing the
monitoring requires only one person.

DYWIDAG Strand Anchor
Advantages and Characteristics
strand anchors allow for a large range
of anchor capacities, as there is no
theoretical limit on how many strands
can be used in an anchor
long anchor lengths are possible
without the requirement of a splice
most strand anchors are coiled for
transport and require little storage
space on site

Anchor Installation Equipment

Uncoiling equipment is utilized to ensure

efficient and safe installation of strand
anchors while minimizing the risk of
damage to the corrosion protection
system. Various manual and motorized
styles of uncoilers are available to meet
project specific needs.

Stressing Equipment

DSI has a large inventory of stressing

equipment that enables our customers
to test and lock off bar and strand
tendons of any size. The stressing jacks
are complemented by stressing chairs,
pulling heads and hydraulic pumps for 1500 KN Jack (2-7 Strands)
safe and efficient stressing operations. equipped with EZ Chair
Customized equipment has been
provided for many jobs with difficult
access or for high capacity anchors. Our
110 MP Bar Jack in house engineering staff is well suited

Hollow Bar Grout Swivels

Grout Swivels are used for a simultaneous

drilling and grouting operation. The Swivel
allows for injection of grout through the
bore of a rotating DYWI Drill Hollow Bar
into the hole. The unit comprises of a heat
treated shaft (to withstand the impact
energy from the hammer drive) and a
housing into which the grout is pumped.
Inlet ports within the shaft allow grout to
be pumped into the bore of the bar.
