Monitoring of construction projects plays increasingly important role in the implementation of growing needs and requirements, especially in geologically difficult areas. This particularly concerns tunnelling and special civil engineering projects. The use of fiber optic sensors for structural health monitoring provides significant economic advantages regarding lower life-cycle costs of the civil infrastructure. We present our achievements in the development of distributed polymer optical fiber sensors based on Rayleigh and Brillouin scattering for early damage detection.
Application of Intensity-Based Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry to Bridge Monitoring
(2022)
Although distributed fiber sensing techniques have been widely used in structural health monitoring, the measurement results of bridge monitoring, particularly under destructive testing, have rarely been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first report of distributed vibration measurement results, which we obtained during a three-day destructive test on an abolished bridge. A coherent optical time domain reflectometry (COTDR) was used to acquire the vibration information while the bridge was being sawed. The obtained signal was analyzed in time and frequency domain. Some characteristics of the sawing-induced vibration were retrieved by the short-time Fourier transform; the vibration exhibited several high frequency components within the measured range up to 20 kHz and all the components appeared in the same time slot. Some unexpected signals were also detected. Thorough analysis showed that they are quite different from the sawing-induced vibration and are believed to originate from internal damage to the bridge (probably the occurrence of cracks).
In this study, a signal processing approach for heterodyne Փ-OTDR and C-OTDR systems that can obtain external perturbation and its frequency content in a faster way is proposed. We can detect vibrations with the same or better SNR using this processing approach, only with a single step and fast calculation. Fig. 12 shows the comparison of the normalized measurement time for the gamma matrix method and the conventional method throughout the three experiments. The speed of processing using a gamma matrix is ~35%–50% faster compared to a conventional method in high frequency test (PZT), low frequency test (walking) and street monitoring test. The processing speed in low frequency test is normally a bit lower than the similar high frequency one, since we must use higher number of time frames. Also, in street test we have higher speed because we can select wider gauges.
We present our achievements in the development of distributed fiber optic sensing systems based on Brillouin optical frequency-domain analysis for structural health monitoring. The focus of the applications is on the gapless monitoring of geotechnical structures, large area infrastructures and electrical grids. The work includes the latest use of machine learning algorithms to reduce measurement time by coexistent increasing the measurement accuracy.
