In this paper we report on our results for the applications of fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) in structural health monitoring. Multiplexed FBG-based strain sensors were fixed onto the reinforced bars (rebars) in concrete structures to determine the strain changes at different locations within the structures during loading and unloading tests. A similar set of FBG-based strain sensor arrays was also mounted onto the surface of the structures for the purpose of comparison. At the same time an FBG-based sensor array optimized for temperature measurement was also distributed alongside the strain sensors to obtain the temperature information, as well as to compensate for the temperature-induced wavelength shifts on those FBG strain sensors. The results obtained followed the same trend as that expected from concrete structures subjected to loading tests.
