Abstract

In order to monitor the bridge cable tension, a new intelligent GFRP-OFBG sensor is introduced. The temperature and strain sensing properties of GFRP-OFBG sensor are studied through the calibration experiment. The limit strain of GFRP-OFBG sensrs with different diameters is compared. It is verified that the GFRP-OFBG sensors with diameter of 7 mm are suitable for the application of the bridge cables tension monitoring, and its limit strain is about 8000. Finally, the installation of GFRP-OFBG sensors have been explored in the arch bridge tie cables. The tie cable tensile process is successfully monitored utilizing GFRP-OFBG intelligent sensors in Sichuan E Bian Dadu river. Based on the monitoring data for a year, the tie cable tensile result and the operating conditions have been verified.
