Fiber optic sensors become very popular for structural testing and monitoring in civil engineering nowadays, due to its advantage of high resolution and environment durability. In this paper, long-gauge fiber optic bragg grating sensors will be introduced. Structural damage detection stratagem using the micro-strain mode will be studied. Then its application to a structural testing and monitoring for a real long span truss bridge will be discussed in detail. In the testing, 23 long-gauge fiber optic bragg grating sensors were deployed on the mid span of the bridge. Testing were made under conditions either there is train on the bridge or no train on it. Corresponding dynamic characteristics were analyzed and discussed. Results of the testing show that long-gauge fiber optic sensors can work well for structural testing and also damage detection for truss bridges.

Sensing System

With the continuous development of mechanical automation, the structural health monitoring techniques are increasingly high requirements for damage detection. So structural health monitoring (SHM) has been playing a significant role in terms of damage prognostics. The main contribution pursued in this investigation is to establish a detection system based on ultrasonic excitation and fiber Bragg grating sensing, which combines the advantages of the ultrasonic detection and fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Differencing from most common approaches, a new way of damage detection is based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which can easily realize distributed detection. The basic characteristics of fiber Bragg grating sensing system are analyzed, and the positioning algorithm of structural damage is derived in theory. On these bases, the detection system was used to analyze damage localization in the aluminum alloy plate of a hole with diameters of 6 mm. Experiments have been carried out to demonstrate that the sensing system was feasible and that the estimation method of the location algorithm was easy to implement.
