Abstract The introduction of Distributed Optical Fibre Sensing in experimental testing of
reinforced concrete structures has enabled the acquisition of measurements with an …

The combined application of distributed fibre optical strain measurements on reinforcing
bars and digital image correlation (DIC) measurements on the concrete surface has a great …

In this study, a truly distributed sensing system was used to monitor the mechanical behavior
of a representative-scale reinforced concrete structural element tested in four-point bending …

Distributed fiber optic strain measurement techniques have become increasingly important
in recent years, especially in the field of structural health monitoring of reinforced concrete …

The measurement of internal strain with a fully noninvasive method should allow us to obtain
very useful information, both in laboratory testing and in structural monitoring. Fiber optic …

This paper explores the performance of distributed optical fiber sensors based on Rayleigh
backscattering for the monitoring of strains in reinforced concrete elements subjected to …

The article describes measurements of strains of concrete, steel and textile reinforcement
with distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS). The technology of distributed strain …

Concrete tensile stresses influence the cracking behaviour and the stiffness of reinforced
concrete (RC) members. Most design codes account for this tension stiffening effect using an …

Abstract Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS) are novel and increasingly popular strain
monitoring tools recently applied to the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Reinforced …
