Abstract: As fibras ópticas são utilizadas em diferentes áreas e nas mais variadas
aplicações. Na Engenharia Civil começaram a ser utilizadas no monitoramento de
estruturas como alternativa de substituição dos tradicionais sensores elétricos. Este
trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a aplicação e viabilidade dos sensores a base de
fibra óptica no monitoramento de grandes estruturas da engenharia civil. Para
avaliação dos resultados, foram realizados três diferentes tipos de testes
experimentais onde corpos-de-prova foram instrumentados com extensômetros
elétricos e ópticos. O primeiro tipo de teste correspondeu a ensaios de tração simples
em barras de aço com carregamento monotônico até o rompimento de barras de aço.
No segundo tipo de teste foi estudada a automação de um medidor triortogonal de
junta que é um instrumento tipicamente utilizado para a instrumentação de barragens
de concreto. Finalmente o último tipo de testes foi constituído por ensaios de cilindros
de concreto à compressão para a determinação do módulo de elasticidade. Com
relação à utilização dos sensores ópticos, durante a realização dos testes surgiram
muitos problemas relacionados com a unidade óptica de aquisição de dados sendo
necessária a utilização de três diferentes modelos de unidade de aquisição para a
conclusão dos testes. No que se refere à exatidão dos resultados, observou-se que
os resultados apresentados pelos sensores ópticos foram compatíveis com os
resultados dos sensores elétricos. Entretanto, quando os sensores ópticos foram
solicitados por grandes deformações implicaram em perda de sinal devido à
interrupção do fluxo de luz, inabilitando o sensor para leituras.

Abstract

Distributed fiber-optic vibration sensors receive extensive investigation and play a

significant role in the sensor panorama. Optical parameters such as light intensity,
phase, polarization state, or light frequency will change when external vibration is
applied on the sensing fiber. In this paper, various technologies of distributed fiber-
optic vibration sensing are reviewed, from interferometric sensing technology, such as
Sagnac, Mach–Zehnder, and Michelson, to backscattering-based sensing technology,
such as phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer, polarization-optical time
domain reflectometer, optical frequency domain reflectometer, as well as some
combinations of interferometric and backscattering-based techniques. Their operation
principles are presented and recent research efforts are also included. Finally, the
applications of distributed fiber-optic vibration sensors are summarized, which mainly
include structural health monitoring and perimeter security, etc. Overall, distributed
fiber-optic vibration sensors possess the advantages of large-scale monitoring, good
concealment, excellent flexibility, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, and
thus show considerable potential for a variety of practical applications.

Abstract

In the last two decades, a significant number of innovative sensing systems based on
optical fiber sensors have been exploited in the engineering community due to their
inherent distinctive advantages such as small size, light weight, immunity to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and corrosion, and embedding capability. A lot of
optical fiber sensor-based monitoring systems have been developed for continuous
measurement and real-time assessment of diversified engineering structures such as
bridges, buildings, tunnels, pipelines, wind turbines, railway infrastructure, and
geotechnical structures. The purpose of this review article is devoted to presenting a
summary of the basic principles of various optical fiber sensors, innovation in sensing
and computational methodologies, development of novel optical fiber sensors, and the
practical application status of the optical fiber sensing technology in structural health
monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure.

Abstract

In general, optical fibers are coated with UV-curable resins--a soft primary coating and
a hard secondary coating--to protect the glass. Under UV radiation curing heat is
produced and it is known that, since the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the
primary coating is greater than that of the secondary coating, a negative hydrostatic
pressure is produced in the primary coating during the cooling process, resulting in a
force acting to delaminate the primary coating from the glass 1)~3). To achieve long-
term reliability of optical fibers it is necessary to analyze the thermal strain and thermal
stress that arise in the coatings of the fiber, and accordingly, in this work, we discuss
methods for measuring the CTEs of the coatings and the modulus of elasticity of the
secondary coating during the drawing process.

Abstract
The application of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems to civil engineering
structures has been a developing studied and practiced topic, that has allowed for a
better understanding of structures’ conditions and increasingly lead to a more cost-
effective management of those infrastructures. In this field, the use of fiber optic
sensors has been studied, discussed and practiced with encouraging results. The
possibility of understanding and monitor the distributed behavior of extensive stretches
of critical structures it’s an enormous advantage that distributed fiber optic sensing
provides to SHM systems. In the past decade, several R & D studies have been
performed with the goal of improving the knowledge and developing new techniques
associated with the application of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) in order to
widen the range of applications of these sensors and also to obtain more correct and
reliable data. This paper presents, after a brief introduction to the theoretical
background of DOFS, the latest developments related with the improvement of these
products by presenting a wide range of laboratory experiments as well as an extended
review of their diverse applications in civil engineering structures. View Full-Text

ENGINEERING

Link: http://www.iitk.ac.in/nicee/wcee/article/14_11-0118.PDF

ABSTRACT : In recent years, fiber optic sensors have been deployed successfully in
the supervision of structures. Mainly due to their small size they are enable to be widely
used in structural elements. In facts, advances in the production of optical fibers made
possible the recent development of innovative sensing systems for the health
monitoring of civil structures. An overview is presented of our research towards the
development of structurally fiber optic sensors. This demonstrates that fiber optic
sensors show high sensitivity and accuracy in strain, stress, temperature measurement
in several structures. In this research, several examples have been shown in which
strain, stress and temperature have been determined for structural elements.

Abstract

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aims to develop automated systems for the
continuous monitoring, inspection, and damage detection of structures with minimum
labour involvement. The first step to set up a SHM system is to incorporate a level of
structural sensing capability that is reliable and possesses long term stability. Smart
sensing technologies including the applications of fibre optic sensors, piezoelectric
sensors, magnetostrictive sensors and self-diagnosing fibre reinforced composites,
possess very important capabilities of monitoring various physical or chemical
parameters related to the health and therefore, durable service life of structures. In
particular, piezoelectric sensors and magnetorestrictive sensors can serve as both
sensors and actuators, which make SHM to be an active monitoring system. Thus,
smart sensing technologies are now currently available, and can be utilized to the SHM
of civil engineering structures. In this paper, the application of smart materials/sensors
for the SHM of civil engineering structures is critically reviewed. The major focus is on
the evaluations of laboratory and field studies of smart materials/sensors in civil
engineering structures.

8 Fiber-optic sensor applications in civil and geotechnical engineering

Abstract
Different types of fiber-optic sensors based on glass or polymeric fibers are used to
evaluate material behavior or to monitor the integrity and long-term stability of load-
bearing structure components. Fiber-optic sensors have been established as a new
and innovative measurement technology in very different fields, such as material
science, civil engineering, light-weight structures, geotechnical areas as well as
chemical and high-voltage substations. Very often, mechanical quantities such as
deformation, strain or vibration are requested. However, measurement of chemical
quantities in materials and structure components, such as pH value in steel reinforced
concrete members also provides information about the integrity of concrete structures.
A special fiber-optic chemical sensor for monitoring the alkaline state (pH value) of the
cementitious matrix in steel-reinforced concrete structures with the purpose of early
detection of corrosion-initiating factors is described. The paper presents the use of
several fiber-optic sensor technologies in engineering. One example concerns the use
of highly resolving concrete-embeddable fiber Fabry-Perot acoustic emission (AE)
sensors for the assessment of the bearing behaviour of large concrete piles in existing
foundations or during and after its installation. Another example concerns fiber Bragg
grating (FBG) sensors attached to anchor steels (micro piles) to measure the strain
distribution in loaded soil anchors. Polymer optical fibers (POF) can be — because of
their high elasticity and high ultimate strain — well integrated into textiles to monitor
their deformation behaviour. Such “intelligent” textiles are capable of monitoring
displacement of soil or slopes, critical mechanical deformation in geotechnical
structures (dikes, dams, and embankments) as well as in masonry structures during
and after earthquakes.

9- Smart structures and applications in civil engineering

Abstract:
This paper examines the issue of instrumentation for civil structures and in particular
discusses the role of sensing systems in the evolution of the smart building concept.
The sheer size of most structures of interest presents its own technological challenge
in designing a suitable sensing architecture which will also conveniently address the
area to be covered and will also provide sufficient sensing points to adequately
characterize the structure under test. In addition, the measurement problem itself,
which comprises both process monitoring and in use assessment must be defined.
The former is very much process specific and may range from assessing whether
concrete is dry to ensuring that protective materials are properly installed. The latter is
almost entirely concerned with providing an alarm for either the onset of unacceptable
corrosion within the structure or the appearance of physical damage for example due
to foundation failure. This paper presents an analysis of the principal issues which the
civil engineering smart structure must address and derives generic system
specifications. It continues to argue that fiber optic solutions are the most appropriate
sensing technologies and examines a number of distributed fiber optic technologies
which enable both physical and chemical parameters to be addressed throughout a
large structure.
