Abstract

In this work, a low cost optical fiber sensing system for cracks growth monitoring in the concrete lining of a road tunnel is presented. A plastic optical fiber (POF), with large dynamic strain range, is used for sensing by means of phase measurement of a RF modulated optical signal. Preliminary results suggest that the system represents a viable solution to the aim of crack monitoring.
