8 April 2009Detection and monitoring of FRP-concrete debonding using distributed fiber optic strain sensor
To develop a simple method for detecting and monitoring FRP-concrete debonding with the use of distributed Brillouinbased
fiber optic strain sensor, this study proposes a model that takes into consideration both the steady and the transient
Brillouin interaction states. Assuming that the transient term has an analogous effect on the steady state term, two
parameters, the effective transient length and the intensity reduction ratio, are introduced. The proposed model shows
that the stimulated Brillouin signal intensity distribution at the specific frequency, which corresponds to the maximum
strain at the debonded region, is sensitive to the occurrence of debonding. For evaluation of the model, experiments are
carried out on a reinforced concrete beam retrofitted with glass FRP sheets on which sensing fibers are mounted, and the
results agree with the observation. This numerical and experimental study demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed
model that incorporates not only the steady Brillouin interaction state. The model enables debonding detection without
baseline measurement, leveraging the stimulated Brillouin scattering principle with high spatial resolution and high
accuracy.
