Smart geosynthetics for structural health monitoring using fully distributed fiber optic sensors
(2015)
We report on the development of a complete system for structural health monitaring of large-scale geotechnical structures. The system uses Brillouin frequency domain analysis (BOFDA) for distributed measurement of strain and temperature along glass optical fibers (GOFs) by determining the so-called Brillouin frequency shift (BFS). ln a number of research activities we managed to optimize the BOFDA measurement setup regarding the spatial resolution and the accuracy of the measured quantities. Moreover, we realized a simultaneaus measurement of strain and temperature by using nonzero dispersion-shifted fibers (NZDSFs) with several multiple Brillouin scattering resonances. ln cooperation with our German and ltalian industry partners we finally succeeded in fabricating low-attenuation smart geosynthetics as a sensor component of a fully distributed Brillouin-based fiber optic monitaring system.
Smart Geosynthetics for Structural Health Monitoring Using Fully Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors
(2015)
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.
