| Abstract: |
Corroded galvanized steel wires were produced and the surface roughness was measured by a 3D laser scanner. The scanned data was analysed and the depth, shape and distribution of corrosion pits were recorded. The corroded wire specimens were then cyclically loaded and the breakage positions were found. The breakage positions agreed with the severest corroded part which were found by the 3D scanner. These experiments and measurements validate that the 3D scanner can detect the weakest part of corroded wires and can predict the possible breakage positions. A simple analytical method was proposed to predict the life of corroded wires using S-N curves of corroded wires at different corrosion levels. This method was applied to a cable-stayed bridge and the remaining life of stays was found. The measurement system with 3D scanner and the associated life prediction method can be practical and useful for risk assessment of corroded wires. |
