Structural Monitoring with Fiber Optic Technology
Résumé
A number of innovative bridges have been built recently to demonstrate that fiber reinforced polymer composite materials can be used to replace steel in many of its functions. This includes stay-cables, prestressing tendons and shear reinforcements. Fiber reinforced polymer rehabilitation and strengthening wraps and patches are equally showing great promise. In both instances the use of fiber optic structural sensing systems has been shown to be well suited for monitoring the sue of these new materials. The combination of these two new technologies represents a major advance that is expected to revolutionize the construction industry. In one example a state-of-the-art fiber optic monitoring system permits engineers at a distant monitoring site to closely observe the response of this innovative bridge to traffic loads and track the long term performance of its new materials. Fiber optic structural sensing technology is equally applicable to other industrial sectors, such as the aerospace and marine industries. Indeed, several examples of ships instrumented with arrays of fiber optic structural sensors are also included.
