Research Data supporting "Analysis of Fiber-Optic Strain-Monitoring Data from a Prestressed Concrete Bridge"

This dataset contains fibre-optic strain and temperature readings taken from two pre-stressed concrete beams on the Nine Wells road-over-rail bridge, located to the south of Cambridge. Each of these beams was instrumented with three fibre-optic cables prior to pouring of the concrete. One of the cables is used to measure strains caused by temperature, while the other two are sensitive to both mechanical strain and temperature strain. Readings were taken on various dates in July and August 2008
