Long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) plays an important role in the safety of public transport infrastructure such as bridges or tunnels and warns in the event of any emerging problem. This article describes development and testing of system based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors that can detect changes in strain and temperature. The fi...
The majority of timber bridges for ordinary road traffic are often made as timber-concrete composite structures. Concrete slab is something like as umbrella for timber. The reason for problems in timber-concrete bridges is nearly always poor detailing for durability and neglected maintenance. Mainly all aspects of timber protection and maintenance...
Recently, there has been an increased interest in structural health monitoring (SHM) of building and transport structures. Standard strain gauges placed on a beam surface are mostly used to monitor the mechanical stresses of timber or concrete structures. However, these sensors are susceptible to mechanical damage, electromagnetic interference or n...
In this paper, the fiber Bragg gratings are investigated in the context of sensing of deformation inside a sample of a glued laminated timber. For this purpose, a fiber with acrylate recoated Bragg grating is placed and glued between the timber laminates. Since there are still some open questions leading now, one of the goals is to specify, if the se...
The paper deals with the experimental analysis focused on the determination of strain in wooden building structures using optical fibers with FBG sensors. Firstly, optical fibers were used to measure displacements of layers and surface strain of the lower surface of the ceiling panels made from mechanically jointed cross laminated timber (CLT). The...
Cross laminated timber (CLT) is one of the structural building systems based on the lamination of multiple layers, where each layer is oriented perpendicularly to each other. Recent requirements are placed to develop an alternative process based on the mechanical lamination of the layers, which is of particular interest to our research group at the...
Cross laminated timber (CLT) has become very popular for all types of structures all around the world in last years. CLT consists of uneven number of plank layers oriented in 90° angle to each other and bonded together. Various types of adhesives and technologies are used for bonding and manufacturing of final product. In some cases, gluing is not...
