The use of fibre optic sensors in structural health monitoring has
rapidly accelerated in recent years. By embedding fibre optic
sensors in structures (e.g. buildings, bridges and pipelines) it is
possible to obtain real time data on structural changes such as
stress or strain. Engineers use monitoring data to detect
deviations from a structure's original design performance in order
to optimise the operation, repair and maintenance of a structure
over time.
"Fibre Optic Methods for Structural Health Monitoring" is
organised as a step-by-step guide to implementing a monitoring
system and includes examples of common structures and their
most-frequently monitored parameters. This book: presents a
universal method for static structural health monitoring, using a
technique with proven effectiveness in hundreds of applications
worldwide; discusses a variety of different structures including
buildings, bridges, dams, tunnels and pipelines; features case
studies which describe common problems and offer solutions to those
problems; provides advice on establishing mechanical parameters to
monitor (including deformations, rotations and displacements) and
on placing sensors to achieve monitoring objectives; identifies
methods for interpreting data according to construction material
and shows how to apply numerical concepts and formulae to data in
order to inform decision making.
"Fibre Optic Methods for Structural Health Monitoring" is an
invaluable reference for practising engineers in the fields of
civil, structural and geotechnical engineering. It will also be of
interest to academics and undergraduate/graduate students studying
civil and structural engineering.
