Technology

Which consequence results when temperature gradients form across strain gauge sensors in a bridge structure?

A)Apparent strain measurement errors
B)Increased bridge vibrational resonance
C)Reduced fatigue life of girders
D)Compromised cathodic protection system

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion induces apparent strain because the Wheatstone bridge circuit interprets resistance changes as actual load rather than thermal effects; therefore data is skewed rather than vibration shifts and corrosion issues.
