Abstract

We present the results of a real fire test using optical fiber sensors embedded in concrete samples. The temperature curve used in this experiment is described in the Spanish/European standard UNE-EN 1363-1 temperature profile for normalized concrete resistance to real fire tests, reaching temperatures of more than 1000°C inside the fire chamber and up to 600°C inside the concrete samples. Three types of optical sensors have been embedded in concrete: 1. standard fiber Bragg gratings inscribed in photosensitive germanium-boron co-doped fiber, 2. regenerated fiber Bragg grating (RFGB) inscribed in germanium doped fiber, and 3. RFBG inscribed in germanium-boron co-doped fiber.
