Abstract

Robust fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors network to civil engineering structures is presented as real-time monitoring deviation against seismic effects. The network is based on FBG sensors. The base element is a special type of chirped FBG that is validated. The developed network is applied in one of the two towers of concrete and extradosed type of Rades-La Goulette Bridge in Tunisia that in aggressive environment, to enhance the installed conventional structural health monitoring system (SHMS). Precisely, tilt influences of seismic parameters are calculated. Test procedure and obtained results are discussed.
