Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 5239: Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Pile Jacking Monitoring in Clay Soil

This study investigated the working principle of the sensitized miniature FBG sensor and analyzed the strain transfer characteristics of the sensor by calibration test. The lateral resistance and the earth plug resistance of the model pile were measured accurately by the grooves embedded in the outer tube of the double-wall opening model pile and the sensors directly pasted on the surface of the inner tube. The results of this study show that the sensitized miniature FBG strain sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, strong interference resistance, and high test accuracy. The FBG strain sensor was completely fixed on the pile by clamping supports at both ends, and the strain measured using the FBG strain sensor was found to be consistent with the pile deformation.
