TY - CONF A1 - Wosniok, Aleksander A1 - Krebber, Katerina T1 - Distributed Brillouin fiber optic sensor system for long-term structural health monitoring N2 - We report on the development of a distributed fiber optical sensor system for structural health monitoring of largc-scale geotechnical and civil infrastructures. The system is based on Brillouin frequency domain analysis (BOFDA) for distributed measurement of strain and temperature along Standard silica optical fibers used as sensors. By additional incorporation of the fiber optic sensors in geosynthetics, two-dimensional sensors can be realized. Such smart geosynthetics can be used for reinforeerneut of geotechnical and masonry structures and the embedded fiber optic sensors can provide information about the condition of the structures and detect the presence of any damages and destructions in real time.

Particularly, the fiber optic sensors can be embedded in geosynthetics which are nowadays widely used in many geotechnical applications including earth dikes, railway embankments, landfill liners, quarries and mines. Thereby, such smart geosynthetics can be used for reinforcement, layer separation, filtration or drainage while the embedded fiber optic sensors provide information about the condition of the geotechnical structures in real time. The paper highlights the results achieved in this innovative field in the framework of several German and European projects. The presented measurement methods for long-term monitoring are based on Brillouin scattering in silica glass optical fibers (GOFs) and optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) in polymer optical fibers (POFs).

The basis for the calculation are commercial perfluorinated polymer optical (PFGI-POFs) and silica based fibres (SOFs). The modal power distribution for given misalignments are presented as well as the reflection-based losses at all optical interfaces. Additionally, the ball-lensed interconnection between PFGI-POF and SOF was theoretically demonstrated.

Therefore, reliable on-line and long-term monitoring systems are required to protect such critical infrastructures. Fiber optic sensors are well-suited for that. They can be installed over many kilometers and are able to measure continuously distributed strain, pressure, temperature and further mechanical and physical quantities. The very tiny optical fibers can be integrated into structures and materials and can provide information about any significant changes or damages of the structures. These so-called smart materials and smart structures are able to monitor itself or its environment. Particularly smart technical textiles with embedded fiber optic sensors have become very attractive because of their high importance for the structural health monitoring of geotechnical and masonry infrastructures. Such textiles are usually used for reinforcement of the structures; the embedded fiber optic sensors provide information about the condition of the structures and detect the presence of any damages and destructions in real time. Thus, critical infrastructures can be preventively protected. The paper will introduce this innovative field and will present the results achieved within several German and European projects.
