Bridge Assessment and Health Monitoring with Distributed Long-Gauge FBG Sensors

Most sensors for structural testing and health monitoring are “point” sensors which strongly limit the ability to correct damage detection and structural assessment. In this paper, long-gauge FBG sensor which can sense the whole area within the gauge length is introduced. Bridge assessment and healt...
