Application of fiber optical and resistance strain gauges for long-term surveillance of civil engineering structures
We report on applications of surveillance and test systems for civil engineering structures. The system key elements are optical-fiber Bragg grating sensors and conventional resistance strain gauges. A recently built stay cable bridge with a world novelty of two carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer cables was equipped with both types of sensors. The sensor system on the bridge is now operational for ten months and the bridge is open for traffic for 4 months. Results of the bridge surveillance are presented. To monitor a large concrete structure, the electrical power dam of Luzzone in the Swiss Alps, a prototype sensor rod was designed. First measurements with a sensor rod embedded in a concrete test prism are discussed. Several redundant measurements are made to compensate for temperature drift and to monitor the reliability of the measurement chain.
