Evaluation of thermal-drift effect on strain measurement of energy pile ...
Thus, the thermal strain of the energy pile body can be represented by (17) ε = α P ∙ Δ T where α P is the thermal expansion coefficient of energy pile. Fig. 19 displays the strain readings of the FBG sensors and ERS gauges bonded on rebar 2 in the energy pile, which has a similar trend with temperature variation.
