Fibre optic sensors for the structural health monitoring of building structures
Open accessAbstract
In this work different fibre optic sensors for the structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures are reported. A fibre optic crack sensor and two different fibre optic moisture sensors have been designed to detect the moisture ingress in concrete based building structures. Moreover, the degeneration of the mechanical properties of optical glass fibre sensors and hence their long-term stability and reliability due to the mechanical and chemical impact of the concrete environment is discussed as well as the advantage of applying a fibre optic sensor system for the structural health monitoring of sewerage tunnels is demonstrated.

Moisture absorption can alter material properties, potentially leading to false damage features and incorrect damage identifications.
“Due to the absorption of moisture, material properties can be altered, potentially leading to false damage features and incorrect damage identifications [125].”
From Effects of Environmental and Operational Conditions on Structural Health Monitoring and Non-Destructive Testing: A Systematic Review (2023) · cites this paper as [125]
Sections 2.1 and 2.2 describe sensor materials swelling when exposed to water and the resulting changes in optical readings. They do not say that moisture alters the structural material’s properties or produces false damage features or incorrect damage identifications. No page numbers are available in our copy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
