Structural health monitoring with fiber-optic displacement and deformation sensors

OSMOS developed a novel monitoring system to supervise the structural health of civil engineering structures, i.e. bridges, towers, etc., and geo-technical sites, i.e., landslides, waste disposal sites, etc. This novel monitoring system is based on fiber-optic displacement and deformation sensors. They monitor permanently the static and dynamic behavior of the analyzed structure. They are part of the novel OSMOS monitoring system, which also integrates various other sensors, e.g., for temperature, pressure, humidity carbonation, chloride, moisture, pH, corrosion risk, and vibrations. All data are collected and processed by OSMOS. Additionally, the data are accessible on-line via the internet.
