This paper proposes the use of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors to monitor steel corrosion in concrete. By measuring the wavelength shift of FBG, the corrosion ratio and volume expansion coefficients of steel are evaluated. The accuracy of FBG sensors is improved through investigations on bonding materials and methods. The research successfully monitors the steel corrosion condition, providing quantitative data for ensuring the safety operation of infrastructures.
Steel corrosion in concrete is harmful but invisible. Until now, it is still very hard to measure the steel corrosion condition by non-destructive method accurately. In this paper, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors include single and three grating sensors, are proposed to bond with steel bar and embed in concrete for monitoring the steel corrosion condition. The steel corrosion condition is evaluated by the corrosion ratio and volume expansion coefficients of steel, which are derived from the wavelength shift of FBG. Bonding materials and bonding ways are investigated in detail for improving the accuracy of FBG sensors. The mechanism of bonding effects on FBG sensor for optimizing the accuracy, has been discussed. The results suggested that the steel corrosion condition is successfully monitored by calculating the corrosion ratio of 2.02-4.24%, and volume expansion coefficient of 2.18-2.65 in this test. The research work is more quantify than the traditional methods for monitoring the steel corrosion condition in concretes. It is helpful for ensuring the safety operation of infrastructures efficiently.
