Abstract

The FBG bending gauge developed by POFC is applied in several situations involving bridge safety/health monitoring. Under static loading conditions, the FBG bending gauge serves as an excellent tool to deduce an overall deflection curve on the bridge section under study. The gauge also works well in dynamic situations where instantaneous vertical deflections of bridge structures resulting from a cruising dump truck were accurately measured.
