Abstract In recent years distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) have found their way into the structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridges and other civil engineering structures.
Fiber optic sensors can be used for several bridge monitoring purposes: traffic monitoring, WIM for load spectra, deflections, vibration signatures and acoustic emissions crack propagation.
Being able to detect, localize and monitor the development and evolution of cracking can be crucial and this research is aimed at this purpose. In particular, laboratory tests have been performed on
