Fibre Optic Sensors (FOS) enable continuous and accurate monitoring of various parameters of concrete structures. These sensors are capable of measuring deformation,
This paper presents an experimental study that investigates the ability of OFDR, implemented using several types of fiber optic cable, to detect concrete cracking and large strain
The ability to measure strains quasi-continuously with high spatial resolution makes distributed fiber optic sensing a promising technology for structural health monitoring as it allows to locate and
The utilization of distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) allows the assessment of strain and temperature distributions continuously along the installed sensing fiber and is widely used for
Fiber optic sensors (FOS) are made of high-purity silica, which are immune to chemical attacks and electromagnetic interference. These properties make it ideal for long-term durability monitoring of
The study employed modelling and experiments with FOS to measure deformations in various concrete samples. FOS, which are thin fibres with an optical cable inside, was used in the
Monitoring of cracks and crack growth rates is a crucial aspect of structural health monitoring for concrete infrastructure, and multiple manual and automatic monitoring techniques
On the opposite, structural performance monitoring (SPM) aims to evaluate current bridge conditions using a data-informed framework. This study proposes a new methodology for
Fibre optic-based sensors, which have been available since the late 1980s, have a wide range of applications and can be distinguished by the intended measurands or the underlying
