Popis: As a possible use for the monitoring of bridge-constructions optimised eddy-current sensors can be applied to recognise damages earlier and to reduce costs consequently. The intention is to measure the coil impedance of an eddy-current sensor positioned close to a pre-stressing cable and to conclude the change of stress in steel of reinforced concrete elements. For this purpose, measurements are taken with specified specimen to investigate the influence from the air gap variation and hysteresis curve. To estimate the force and stress, respectively, from the impedance of eddy-current sensors, a converting rule between electrical and mechanical values is needed.
