- Abstract:
- This paper describes the development of a automatic measurement system used to perform ground anchor proof testing. Among other objectives the new system aims at providing fully automatic data collection, data processing and display. A brief overview of anchor testing, measurable quantities and aspects that governed system design are discussed. The main system components are fully described. System validation through measuring chains calibration and field testing results are presented.
