Salerno, Italy 4-6 September, is the place to be for Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of civil structure, co-organised by the Structural Engineering Laboratory of Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, and the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Salerno, Italy.
MS09/1 and 2 (sessions 3G and 4G)are Mini Symposia on Advances in Fiber Optical Sensing Solutions for Infrastructure, Geotechnics and Earth Sciences.
Covering applications in soil stabilisation, landslides, water pipelines, boreholes, subsidence, bridges, tunnels, and rail displacement, presentations highlight the latest advances in monitoring with distributed fiber optic strain sensing.
fibrisTerre is presenting:
“Distributed Fiber Optic Smart Geosynthetics for Geotechnical Applications in Transportation”

September 5, Session 4-G MS09/2 Advances in Fiber Optical Sensing Solutions for Infrastructure, Geotechnics and Earth Sciences
“We present the latest works in the design, development, validation and industrial application of geosynthetic materials equipped with integrated fiber-optic sensing cables for distributed strain and temperature measurements. The integration of fiber-optic sensors into geotextiles and geogrids – as they are commonly used in geotechnical construction for soil stability improvement, erosion protection, draining, filtering and other tasks – provides a feasible integration method for the sensors into the structure under monitoring. The one-dimensional characteristic of a longitudinal fiber-optic strain sensor is thereby transformed into a two-dimensional shape sensing plane, providing distributed, uninterrupted information on deformation, sinkholes, slope movements, settlements and many more geotechnical indications on structural failure.”
Full papers will be collected in the
Conference Proceedings, which are going to be published by Elsevier in a dedicated issue of Procedia Structural Integrity (Online ISSN: 2452 – 3216), an open access journal publishing under a CC – BY – NC – ND license full papers presented in scientific conferences.
We look forward to meeting you in Salerno!
