INNOVATIVE GEOTECHNICAL MONITORING SYSTEMS BASED ON FIBRE-OPTIC SENSORS

SISTEMI INNOVATIVI DI MONITORAGGIO GEOTECNICO MEDIANTE SENSORI IN FIBRA OTTICA
Over the last 20 years, telecommunications engineering has developed a family of sensors based on optical fibres (Fibre Optic Sensors, FOS) that offer major advantages both in their mode of installation and data acquisition: they are competitive with traditional sensors, especially with a view to having systems that are able to withstand the test of time and be a pivotal element in the analysis of the state of efficiency of structures in the long term, i.e Structural Health Monitoring.

The day is organized by the University of Padua and is aimed at all technicians working in the field of monitoring, design and control of geotechnical and other structures.

It aims to be a moment to illustrate the potential of these sensors, their characteristics and possible applications, and finally to discuss the difficulties inherent in using these sensors.

The speakers, both national and international will present numerous successful and less successful applications of FOS, providing a broad overview.
