Abstract

Embedded sensor protection system (ESPS) for fibre optic sensor (FOS) has been presented in this paper. Protected Extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) sensors and Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) have been used to monitor the cure progress and structural health status of concrete cylinders. The results indicate that the protected EFPI and FBG sensors are more sensitively to follow the change of environment temperature compared with commercial special strain gauges due to the special design of sensor protection system. The protected fibre optic sensors are suitable achieve the structural health monitoring in practical.
