광섬유 센서는 구조물에 대한 비파괴적인 측정이 가능하고, 전자파에 의한 간섭이 발생하지 않으므로, 전자파 장애의 영향을 무시할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 구조물 건조시 콘크리트 같은 대상체에 광섬유를 내장시킬 경우에는 검사시 대상체를 파괴시키지 않고서도 대상체의 손상여부와 역학적 거동을 측적 및 해석할 수 있는 비파괴 검사기술이다. 특히 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 그러한 대상체에 대한 비파괴 검사를 수행하는데 가장 적합한 센서이다. 광섬유 브래그 격자는 특정파장의 빛을 반사 또는 제거시키는 특성을 지니고 있으며, 스트레인 같은 물리량이 광섬유 브래그 격자에 가해지면, 반사되는 빛의 중심파장이 이동하여 이를 통해 물리량을 측정할 수 있다. 정 동적 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 건축물이나 토목구조물 등의 안전 진단(health monitoring)을 위해 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 도로나 교량과 같은 토목 구조물로의 응용에 있어서 필수적인 동적 스트레인의 측정에 대해 그 관심이 집중퇴고 있다. 본 연구에서는 패브리-페로(Fabry-Perot) 필터를 이용하여 다중점에서 동적 스트레인을 측정할 수 있는 센서 시스템을 제작하였으며, 제작된 센서 시스템을 모의 구조물(외팔보)에 적응하여 모의 구조물에 가해지는 정적, 동적 스트레인을 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 기존의 전기적 센서와 유사하였다.

The need to monitor and undertake remidial works on large structures has greatly increased in recent years due to the appearance of widespread faults in large structures such as bridges and buildings, etc, of 20 or more years of age. The health condition of structures must be monitored continuously to maintenance the structures. In order to do in-situ monitoring, the sensor is necessary to be embedded in the structures. Fiber optic sensors can be embedded in the structures to get the health information in the structures. The fiber sensor was constructed with $3{\times}3$ fiber couplers to sense the multi-point strains and failure instants. The 4 RC (reinforced concrete) beams were made to 2 of A type, 2 of B type beams. These beams were reinforced by the reinforcing bars, and were tested under the flexural loading. The behavior of the beams was simultaneously measured by the fiber optic sensors, electrical strain gages, and LVDT. The states of the beams were interpreted by these all signals. By these experiments, There were verified that the fiber optic sensors could measure the structural strains and failure instants of the RC beams, The fiber sensors were well operated until the failure of the beams. It was shown that the strains of the reinforcing steel bar can be used to monitor the health condition of the beams through the flexural test of RC beams. On the other words, the results were arrived that the two strains in the reinforcing bar measured at the same point can give the information of the structural health status. Also, the failure instants of beams were well detected from the fiber optic filtered signals.

In case there are many points to be measured in the field, conventional measuring system requires a lot of manpower and is liable to miss applying the timely countermeasure because processing and analyzing the data obtained also takes much time. Therefore the purpose of this paper is focused on removing the above defects by introducing automatic multi-point measuring system by use of IBM-PC or the compatibles easily at hand nowadays. Principal components of the system is composed of control box, A/D converter. 32 channel 4 wire switch boxes and strain amplifier. An application software was developed for multi point measurement system in order to efficiently evaluate the stability of the structures such as retaining walls.

In this study, a method to estimate the suspension bridge deflection is developed using mode decomposition technique. In order to examine the suspension bridge stability against these dynamic loadings, the prediction of displacement response is very important to evaluate bridge stability. However, it is recognized that any measurement of movement for suspension bridges may be difficult for the absence of proper methods to measure the displacement response on site. This study aims at suggesting a method to estimate the displacement response from the measured strain signals in an indirect way to predict the displacement response, not a direct way to measure the displacement response. Additionally, by applying the FBG sensors with multi-point measurements not influenced by electric noise, it can be expected that the technique would be applicable to infrastructures.
