Research on Prediction Model of Prestress Loss of Anchor Cable in Soil-Rock Dual-Structure Slope by Xuhe Gao, Weiping Tian, Jiachun Li, Hongliang Qi, Zhipei Zhang

“…We relied on the soil-rock dual-structure slope treatment project of section K5 + 220-K5 + 770 of Jiangwen Expressway and monitored the prestress loss of the anchor cable in the slope through the anchor cable meter with built-in vibrating wire sensor. Using regression analysis and segmented modelling methods, we established a comprehensive mathematical improvement model, analyzed the applicability of the improved model, and obtained the error range, 0.04%–8.9%. …”
