Distributed Fibre Optic Strain Sensing For Monitoring Civil Infrastructure: A practical guide (Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure & Construction) - Hardcover

The Centre for Smart Infrastructure aims to develop and commercialise emerging technologies which will provide radical changes in the construction and management of infrastructure, leading to considerably enhanced efficiencies, economies and adaptability. This book offers comprehensive guidance on developments of distributed optical fibre sensing. Smart monitoring for performance-based design is increasingly being recognised as an essential tool for improving construction processes, delivering efficiency and reducing over specification. On the other hand, the high level of maintenance required to preserve our ageing infrastructure and run it at full capacity has created a demand for structural health monitoring or performance-based maintenance.

All four authors have written extensively for ICE Publishing journals Geotechnique, Civil Engineering, and Forensic Engineering
