Description:

This book aims to consolidate academic knowledge on distributed optical fibre sensing into a practical guide in order to demonstrate the capabilities of fibre optic strain sensing, the opportunities it can offer to the construction industry, and how it can be implemented to monitor geotechnical infrastructures.

Synopsis:

The Centre for Smart Infrastructure aims to develop and commercialise emerging technologies which will provide radical changes in the construction and management of infrastructure, leading to considerably enhanced efficiencies, economies and adaptability. This book offers comprehensive guidance on developments of distributed optical fibre sensing. Smart monitoring for performance-based design is increasingly being recognised as an essential tool for improving construction processes, delivering efficiency and reducing over specification. On the other hand, the high level of maintenance required to preserve our ageing infrastructure and run it at full capacity has created a demand for structural health monitoring or performance-based maintenance.
