Abstract

In a reinforced concrete wall the deformation during concrete hardening was measured by means of embedded extrinsic fibre-Fabry-Perot-interferometers. The sensors were specifically modified in order to provide a self-calibration cycle and to ensure the functional efficiency under adverse conditions at the building site. The installation was done in the wall's cage of reinforcement before its concreting. The measurement was carried out automatically over a period of 35 days. The measuring results are very satisfactory and give a resolution of 0.1 micrometers /m.
