Monitoring of structures and elements with fiber optics: validation experiments
Book - Report
Abstract:In order to evaluate the performance of optical fibres for the monitoring of concrete structures, several validation tests were performed at different levels. Different optical fibre setups and types were evaluated in a real reinforced concrete environment. In addition, special attention was also dedicated to concretespecific damage phenomena, in particular, the ability of optical fibres to detect crack formation and corrosion.
