Fiber-optic sensors are used in electrical switchgear to transmit light from an electrical arc flash to a digital protective relay to enable fast tripping of a breaker to reduce the energy in the arc blast. Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time.

This work proposes a novel method of embedding FOSs using capillaries within solid structures and investigates fiber positions and orientation uncertainties within capillaries of different sizes and their influences on strain measurement accuracies. Embedding fiber optic sensors (FOSs) within parts for strain measurement is attracting widespread interest due to its great potential in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). Therefore, the purpose of this effort is to bridge the gap between civil engineering and sensor engineering communities through an overview on the up-to-date technological advances in both sectors, with a special focus on textile reinforced concrete embedded with fiber optic sensors.

As a sensing technology based on the principles of optical fiber, fiber optic sensors have gradually become key equipment in many industries due to their advantages, such as high precision, strong anti-interference, and long transmission distances. A fiber optic sensor measures a physical quantity by modulating the intensity, spectrum, phase, or polarization of light traveling through the optical fiber system. , small, lightweight, resistant to high temperatures and pressure, electromagnetically passive, among others. The fiber optic sensor has an optical fiber connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time.

Using conventional sensors at local measuring points, such as strain gauges, only known cracks can be observed, since their location is unknown before the onset of cracking. The possibility to measure strains continuously using distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) offers enormous potential for structural health monitoring. ABSTRACT: Truly distributed fiber-optic strain measurements provide the possibility to detect and quantify cracks in prestressed concrete structures without previous knowledge of the location where cracks are likely to appear.
