Distributed Deflection Measurement of Reinforced Concrete Elements Using Fibre Optic Sensors

摘要: The construction of new infrastructure required to meet the demands of a growing global population has substantial negative impacts on the environment. Structural engineers can help reduce these negative impacts through efficient material use in reinforced concrete (RC) design, as steel and concrete production accounts for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. In RC design, stiffness and support condition assumptions often lead to large discrepancies between design models and true behaviour. Critical insight …
