Fibre optic sensors offer a means for the real-time continuous measurement of temperature or strain in concrete structures. Backscattered light along a fibre optic sensing (FOS) cable is interrogated to record a frequency shift and this shift is typically translated into a physical parameter such as strain or temperature using a calibration factor. However, when the measured frequency shift is a response to a combination of mechanical, thermal or hygral (humidity) loadings it is difficult to decouple individual influences. This presents a challenge in complex materials such as concrete where the strain, temperature and moisture levels change concurrently during the fresh and hardened states. Furthermore, depending on the application, both s...
