Fiber Optic Grating Anchor Bolt Stress Monitoring

This paper proposes a new approach to detecting bolts' anchoring qualities based on the fiber Bragg grating sensing principle. A fiber-optic monitoring test platform of anchor bolt. Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bolts have been widely used in some applications of grouted anchors because of the advantages of better resistance to corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, low electromagnetic properties, and so on. Continuous dynamic monitoring of the internal force distribution in a high-precision roadway bolt support structure. Geotechnical monitoring of anchors provides fundamental data for analysis and evaluation to ensure safe environment. The Bragg grating chain is connected and embedded into the anchor rod, which solves the problems that the surface-mounted grating anchor rod cannot be reused and is easily affected by the environment, and has the.
