Abstract Accurate measurement of anchor rod length is crucial for ensuring structural safety in tunnel engineering, yet conventional destructive techniques face limitations in efficiency and adaptability to complex underground environments. This study presents a novel wireless instrument based on the standing wave principle to enable remote, non-destructive length assessment. The system employs a master-slave architecture, where a handheld transmitter unit initiates measurements through robust 433 MHz wireless communication, optimized for signal penetration in obstructed spaces. The embedded measurement unit, integrated with anchor rods during installation, utilizes frequency-scanning technology to excite structural resonances. By analyzing standing wave… More >
