Abstract

In our research, we focused on the FBG sensor system which is one of the fiber optic sensor system. The FBG sensor system is used for structural measurements. The problem of FBG sensor is very thin and weak. The methods that can protect FBG optical fiber sensor front outside forces such as the impacts are investigated. The FBG sensor embedded in the fiber reinforced composites which can replace the reinforcing steel bars in concretes can be applied to the concrete structures by embedding to the composite materials. The progresses in tensile strength of FBG sensor embedded in the reinforcing FRP bars in the concrete structures compare to plain FBGs were observed and the good long term durability is expected.

본 연구에서는 섬유 광학의 감지 장치 중 하나인 FBG 센서 및 시스템에 관하여 검토하였다. FBG 센서의 문제는 매우 가늘고 약하다는 것이다. 이를 위해 충격과 같은 외부의 요인으로부터 FBG 센서를 보호할 수 있는 방법을 다각적으로 모색하였다. 철근을 대체할 수 있는 FRP 복합재에 FBG 센서를 삽입하여 실험을 실시하여 그 결과를 검토하였으며, 삽입되기 전의 자연스러운 Fiber 상태와 비교 분석하였다. 이 연구에서 철근 대용 복합재료에 삽입된 FBG 센서는 기존의 삽입되지 않은 일반 광섬유센서와 비교 시, 복합재료의 보강효과에 의해 최대 변형률이 기존보다 크게 나타났으며, 내구성 측면에서도 좋은 성능을 발휘할 것으로 예상된다.
