Experimental design for shotcrete tunnel lining with distributed optical fibre monitoring

Övrigt konferensbidrag, 2022

As the demand for expanding the transport infrastructure increases, sustainable solutions for ensuring the service life and safety of new and existing structures are crucial. By introducing state-of-the art-monitoring solutions and advanced AI-algorithms, continuous verification and prediction of the structural integrity becomes possible. In this paper, the SensIT 2.0 project at Chalmers University of Technology is described and initial experimental design for applying Distributed Optical Fibers Sensing (DOFS) systems to a Fibre Reinforced Shotcrete (FRS) tunnel lining is presented.
