Structural Health Monitoring Using Fiber Optic Sensors

Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are ideally suited to be integrated in civil structures (bridges, dams, tunnels, buildings,…). Parameters like strain, load and displacement are measured. The potential benefits of structural health monitoring system using FBG sensors include savings in the cost of ownership of a structure thanks to an extended service life of the structure through timely preventative maintenance, reduced routine maintenance costs, reduced remedial repairs,…
