Abstract
The measuring methods using optical fiber strain sensors are being considered as structural monitoring technologies for concrete structures. B-OTDR method using optical fiber strain sensors can measure continuous strain along an optical fiber over 80km. Because of this advantage, it is expected to measure deformations in large-scale structures. But, this new measuring method, B-OTDR method, is just in development. There is very few case of applying this measuring method to actual structures. This paper describes a new measuring method using optical fiber strain sensors (B-OTDR method) applying to an actual concrete underground tunnel which was expected to deform by new shaft work near this tunnel. As a result, this method using optical fiber strain sensors can measure the deformation of the underground tunnel.
