Abstract

Guidelines have been formulated for conducting mechanical and electronic design, calibration, and installation of steel or aluminum transducers, which may be used to monitor internal forces in selected elements of a redundant structure, directly and independently, without analysis. Two different transducers implemented in reinforced concrete test structures at U.C. Berkeley are presented as examples. Information regarding actual force responses was obtained from them which could not otherwise have been analytically predicted or experimentally measured. Possible practical applications of these transducers are suggested and their potential in experimental research is discussed.
