Abstract
A distributed optical fiber sensor (DOFS) with the principle of microbend loss has been developed for concrete or rock-sliding damage measurement. The combination of multiple microbend sensors can form a sensor array for distributed sensing application in monitoring local slippage or deformation along the rock mass of the high slope, and the optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) can be conveniently used for interrogation of each sensor point. The sensor sensitivity can be obtained at a specific range according to the requirement of the model test condition. Connected with multiplexed sensing processing schemes, its sliding range of dynamic sensing response reached 0–3.6 mm and semi-empirical formula was fitted according to data from model tests. The DOFS array may find a potential application in real-time monitoring and damage detection of large and critical slope engineering structures.
