Abstract: An optical fiber strain-sensing technique, on the basis of Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR), was used to monitor the performance of a secant pile wall subjected to multiple props during construction of ...

Abstract: In this field trial, a new monitoring technique using distributed strain sensing known as Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry (BOTDR) was introduced to monitor the behavior of bolted-concrete linings of a recently ...

Abstract: Masonry structures are deteriorating due to environmental and man-made factors, which cause damages such as cracks in the structures. Periodic inspection is required to determine if cracks have changed in appearance over ...
