4 DETERMINATION OF NUMBER ANDLOCATION
The locations for stress measurements in therepresentative blocks selected to install stressmeters are generally decided by the designer ofthe dam in comparison to the strain meterlocations Generally strain meters are employedto detrmine stresses as the stress meters are
costlier However stress determination fromstrain measurements is affected by factors suchas temperature effect and autogeneous growthof concrete Yet installation of stress meters ona11 points of interest is not economically viablewhen compared to installation of strain metersalong with no-stress-strain meter The
optimum combination of strain meters andstress meters would be to install at least a stressmeter close to the strain meter installationlocation (see IS 7436 [ Part 2 ) 1974 1
5 INSTALLATION

before concrete filling to ensure proper bondBackfilling should be done in such a way thatthere is no dislocation or disturbance to themeter Concreting should be finished 75 mmabove the surface of the lift It shouId be pro-tected from traffic till the mortar is thoroughlyset Figure 3 illustrates the entire process of
installation
529 Stress meters could also be placed invertical position ( stem horizontal ) within freshconcrete near top of th- lift In order to carryout this work steps given in 5291 to 5294should be followed
5291 A hole of about 300 mm should be dugat the meter location after concrete placementin lift is comnlptprl--
5292 The meter should be placed in position
and fresh concrete should be placed around inthin layers Cobbles if any should be removedThe place should then be tamped carefully butthoroughly
5293 Care should be taken to check alignmentand position of the meter to ensure properorientation and position as back filling pro-gresses
5294 The area around this work should beprotected till concrete is completely andthoroughly set

53111 Cable should not be exposed on openground without necessary and sufficient protec-tion An open cable is dangerous as it may actas aerial with a danger of impermissibly highvoltage getting induced in the cable by atmo-spheric discharges during rainy season It maybe advisable to have built-in over-voltage
protection inside the transducer53112 The cable may be placed loose in waveline fashion
53113 If necessary the cable may be protec-ted by flexible high pressure hose or tube
blockouts on walls of galleries nearest to thegroup of instruments The reading stations forall embedded instruments in a monolith shouldbe located in that monolith as far as possiblein order to avoid running cable leads acrosscontraction joints Separate terminal boardrecesses for different types of instruments may
be required Where a gallery or similar semi-protected location is not available convenientlyaccessible exterior location may be selectedand the facilities secured against unauthorisedtampering

protective cap and appropriate compound (seeFig 6)
Normal gallery lighting may not be usuallyadequate and a supplementary fixture forlighting should be provided at the terminalboard station
54 Identification of Cables and Stress Meters
541 Each stress meter should be identified bya letter prefixed designating the type of instru-ment and numbered subsequently The normalprefix letters used for stress meter are lsquoSMrsquoThe instrument identification number is stampedor punched on a band which is crimped to-thecable about 900 mm from the stress meter endA similar band is crimped about 300 mm from
the free end of the cable In addition a fewmore markers consisting of the identificationnumber marked on white tape and covered withlinen and friction tape should be placed aroundthe cable near the free end

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter

where
Crsquo =
c =
new calibration constant
original calibration constant
Y = resistance of a pair of conductor cablesand
R = stress meter resistance at approximatetemperature to be expected afterembedment
When these types of stress meters are used withan automatic data acquisition or logging system
it is customary to use the calibration constantin terms of voltage change across full bridgeinstead of ratio change The conversionequation is
where
Crdquo = new calibration constant in terms ofmicro volts change per volt ofexcitation per micro-strain and
Ci = ordinary calibration constant on theresistance ratio basis

It is the total temperature correctionfor the number of degrees temperatureto which it applies Note that thereference temperature is that 24 hoursage in this case Before that age theconcrete is too soft to support such
stress and the correction is consideredto be negligible In rich concrete andspecially when curing temperature isensured the reference temperature needto be taken at 12 hours or some earliertime This choice makes very littledifference and is therefore not impro-ved
It is the actual stress after applying thetemperature correction given in co1 12to the indicated stress given in co1 9Care should be taken to observe the
sign of the stress and the correctionThe reduction in the resistance ratiomeans a compressive stress and thetemperature correction should beapplied so as to reduce the indicatedcompressive stress when the tempe-rature rises and vice versa

4 DETERMINATION OF NUMBER ANDLOCATION
The locations for stress measurements in therepresentative blocks selected to install stressmeters are generally decided by the designer ofthe dam in comparison to the strain meterlocations Generally strain meters are employedto detrmine stresses as the stress meters are
costlier However stress determination fromstrain measurements is affected by factors suchas temperature effect and autogeneous growthof concrete Yet installation of stress meters ona11 points of interest is not economically viablewhen compared to installation of strain metersalong with no-stress-strain meter The
optimum combination of strain meters andstress meters would be to install at least a stressmeter close to the strain meter installationlocation (see IS 7436 [ Part 2 ) 1974 1
5 INSTALLATION

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter

where
Crsquo =

new calibration constant
original calibration constant
Y = resistance of a pair of conductor cablesand
R = stress meter resistance at approximatetemperature to be expected afterembedment
When these types of stress meters are used withan automatic data acquisition or logging system
it is customary to use the calibration constantin terms of voltage change across full bridgeinstead of ratio change The conversionequation is
where
Crdquo = new calibration constant in terms ofmicro volts change per volt ofexcitation per micro-strain and
Ci = ordinary calibration constant on theresistance ratio basis

It is correction per degree Celsius ofchange as computed from the equation
given in the heading of the sheet
It is the total temperature correctionfor the number of degrees temperatureto which it applies Note that thereference temperature is that 24 hoursage in this case Before that age theconcrete is too soft to support such
stress and the correction is consideredto be negligible In rich concrete andspecially when curing temperature isensured the reference temperature needto be taken at 12 hours or some earliertime This choice makes very littledifference and is therefore not impro-ved
It is the actual stress after applying thetemperature correction given in co1 12to the indicated stress given in co1 9Care should be taken to observe the
sign of the stress and the correctionThe reduction in the resistance ratiomeans a compressive stress and thetemperature correction should beapplied so as to reduce the indicatedcompressive stress when the tempe-rature rises and vice versa

4 DETERMINATION OF NUMBER ANDLOCATION
The locations for stress measurements in therepresentative blocks selected to install stressmeters are generally decided by the designer ofthe dam in comparison to the strain meterlocations Generally strain meters are employedto detrmine stresses as the stress meters are
costlier However stress determination fromstrain measurements is affected by factors suchas temperature effect and autogeneous growthof concrete Yet installation of stress meters ona11 points of interest is not economically viablewhen compared to installation of strain metersalong with no-stress-strain meter The
optimum combination of strain meters andstress meters would be to install at least a stressmeter close to the strain meter installationlocation (see IS 7436 [ Part 2 ) 1974 1

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter

original calibration constant
Y = resistance of a pair of conductor cablesand
R = stress meter resistance at approximatetemperature to be expected afterembedment
When these types of stress meters are used withan automatic data acquisition or logging system
it is customary to use the calibration constantin terms of voltage change across full bridgeinstead of ratio change The conversionequation is
where
Crdquo = new calibration constant in terms ofmicro volts change per volt ofexcitation per micro-strain and

It is the total temperature correctionfor the number of degrees temperatureto which it applies Note that thereference temperature is that 24 hoursage in this case Before that age theconcrete is too soft to support such
stress and the correction is consideredto be negligible In rich concrete andspecially when curing temperature isensured the reference temperature needto be taken at 12 hours or some earliertime This choice makes very littledifference and is therefore not impro-ved
It is the actual stress after applying thetemperature correction given in co1 12to the indicated stress given in co1 9Care should be taken to observe the
sign of the stress and the correctionThe reduction in the resistance ratiomeans a compressive stress and thetemperature correction should beapplied so as to reduce the indicatedcompressive stress when the tempe-rature rises and vice versa

4 DETERMINATION OF NUMBER ANDLOCATION
The locations for stress measurements in therepresentative blocks selected to install stressmeters are generally decided by the designer ofthe dam in comparison to the strain meterlocations Generally strain meters are employedto detrmine stresses as the stress meters are
costlier However stress determination fromstrain measurements is affected by factors suchas temperature effect and autogeneous growthof concrete Yet installation of stress meters ona11 points of interest is not economically viablewhen compared to installation of strain metersalong with no-stress-strain meter The
optimum combination of strain meters andstress meters would be to install at least a stressmeter close to the strain meter installationlocation (see IS 7436 [ Part 2 ) 1974 1

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter

where
Crsquo =

new calibration constant
original calibration constant
Y = resistance of a pair of conductor cablesand
R = stress meter resistance at approximatetemperature to be expected afterembedment
When these types of stress meters are used withan automatic data acquisition or logging system
it is customary to use the calibration constantin terms of voltage change across full bridgeinstead of ratio change The conversionequation is
where
Crdquo = new calibration constant in terms ofmicro volts change per volt ofexcitation per micro-strain and

It is the total temperature correctionfor the number of degrees temperatureto which it applies Note that thereference temperature is that 24 hoursage in this case Before that age theconcrete is too soft to support such
stress and the correction is consideredto be negligible In rich concrete andspecially when curing temperature isensured the reference temperature needto be taken at 12 hours or some earliertime This choice makes very littledifference and is therefore not impro-ved
It is the actual stress after applying thetemperature correction given in co1 12to the indicated stress given in co1 9Care should be taken to observe the
sign of the stress and the correctionThe reduction in the resistance ratiomeans a compressive stress and thetemperature correction should beapplied so as to reduce the indicatedcompressive stress when the tempe-rature rises and vice versa

53111 Cable should not be exposed on openground without necessary and sufficient protec-tion An open cable is dangerous as it may actas aerial with a danger of impermissibly highvoltage getting induced in the cable by atmo-spheric discharges during rainy season It maybe advisable to have built-in over-voltage
protection inside the transducer53112 The cable may be placed loose in waveline fashion
53113 If necessary the cable may be protec-ted by flexible high pressure hose or tube
blockouts on walls of galleries nearest to thegroup of instruments The reading stations forall embedded instruments in a monolith shouldbe located in that monolith as far as possiblein order to avoid running cable leads acrosscontraction joints Separate terminal boardrecesses for different types of instruments may
be required Where a gallery or similar semi-protected location is not available convenientlyaccessible exterior location may be selectedand the facilities secured against unauthorisedtampering

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter

YCrrlzcr+- R
where
Crsquo =
c =
new calibration constant
original calibration constant
Y = resistance of a pair of conductor cablesand
R = stress meter resistance at approximatetemperature to be expected afterembedment
When these types of stress meters are used withan automatic data acquisition or logging system
it is customary to use the calibration constantin terms of voltage change across full bridgeinstead of ratio change The conversionequation is
where
Crdquo = new calibration constant in terms ofmicro volts change per volt ofexcitation per micro-strain and
Ci = ordinary calibration constant on theresistance ratio basis

It is correction per degree Celsius ofchange as computed from the equation
given in the heading of the sheet
It is the total temperature correctionfor the number of degrees temperatureto which it applies Note that thereference temperature is that 24 hoursage in this case Before that age theconcrete is too soft to support such
stress and the correction is consideredto be negligible In rich concrete andspecially when curing temperature isensured the reference temperature needto be taken at 12 hours or some earliertime This choice makes very littledifference and is therefore not impro-ved
It is the actual stress after applying thetemperature correction given in co1 12to the indicated stress given in co1 9Care should be taken to observe the
sign of the stress and the correctionThe reduction in the resistance ratiomeans a compressive stress and thetemperature correction should beapplied so as to reduce the indicatedcompressive stress when the tempe-rature rises and vice versa

It is the total temperature correctionfor the number of degrees temperatureto which it applies Note that thereference temperature is that 24 hoursage in this case Before that age theconcrete is too soft to support such
stress and the correction is consideredto be negligible In rich concrete andspecially when curing temperature isensured the reference temperature needto be taken at 12 hours or some earliertime This choice makes very littledifference and is therefore not impro-ved
It is the actual stress after applying thetemperature correction given in co1 12to the indicated stress given in co1 9Care should be taken to observe the
sign of the stress and the correctionThe reduction in the resistance ratiomeans a compressive stress and thetemperature correction should beapplied so as to reduce the indicatedcompressive stress when the tempe-rature rises and vice versa

protection inside the transducer53112 The cable may be placed loose in waveline fashion
53113 If necessary the cable may be protec-ted by flexible high pressure hose or tube
blockouts on walls of galleries nearest to thegroup of instruments The reading stations forall embedded instruments in a monolith shouldbe located in that monolith as far as possiblein order to avoid running cable leads acrosscontraction joints Separate terminal boardrecesses for different types of instruments may
be required Where a gallery or similar semi-protected location is not available convenientlyaccessible exterior location may be selectedand the facilities secured against unauthorisedtampering

protective cap and appropriate compound (seeFig 6)
Normal gallery lighting may not be usuallyadequate and a supplementary fixture forlighting should be provided at the terminalboard station
54 Identification of Cables and Stress Meters
541 Each stress meter should be identified bya letter prefixed designating the type of instru-ment and numbered subsequently The normalprefix letters used for stress meter are lsquoSMrsquoThe instrument identification number is stampedor punched on a band which is crimped to-thecable about 900 mm from the stress meter endA similar band is crimped about 300 mm from
the free end of the cable In addition a fewmore markers consisting of the identificationnumber marked on white tape and covered withlinen and friction tape should be placed aroundthe cable near the free end

553 Protection from Moisture
To reduce corrosion at the cable terminals audterminal boarci connections usually a seriousproblem in dam galleries an electrical stripheater or incandescent lamp which is to bekept permanently on should be installed withinthe terminal board recess A bulb provided inthe recess for lighting may also serve thispurpose
55 Terminal Boards
554 Installing Terminal Equipment
After all cable leads have been brought into aterminal board recess surplus lengths of cablesshould be cut off and the end of individualconductors prepared for permanent connectionto the panel board or terminal strip Propercare should be taken for identification of thecables and meters

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter

YCrrlzcr+- R
where
Crsquo =
c =
new calibration constant
original calibration constant
Y = resistance of a pair of conductor cablesand
R = stress meter resistance at approximatetemperature to be expected afterembedment
When these types of stress meters are used withan automatic data acquisition or logging system
it is customary to use the calibration constantin terms of voltage change across full bridgeinstead of ratio change The conversionequation is
where
Crdquo = new calibration constant in terms ofmicro volts change per volt ofexcitation per micro-strain and
Ci = ordinary calibration constant on theresistance ratio basis

81 The observations taken should be suitablyrecorded Recommended proformae for therecord of observations and transfer of obser-
vations on permanent record in the office aregiven in Annex A B and C for unbonded straingauge type and in Annex D E and F for vibra-ting wire type stress meters The data sheetforms may be got printed in advance uponwhich the observations can be noted as theyare taken and for pepX8tiGil Gf pei iiLiii kXii

82 Calibration data should be supplied by the
manufacturer Calibration constant of unbon-ded strain gauge type meters as indicated bythe manufacturer should be revised when longerconductor cables are used The conductorcable introduces an extra resistance which doesnot change with stress thus making the meter
