Notes:
Fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) are extensively used in optical add-dropmultiplexers/demultiplexers, optical cross-connect switches, optical sensors and many others inoptical fiber telecommunication networks. In this study, FBG was employed as an optical sensorfor pile monitoring on steel and concrete structures particularly in bridges and buildings. Themeasurement was conducted in accordance to PWD (Public Works Department) requirements andthe test showed compatible results to the vibrating wire strain gauge (VWSG) used in pilemonitoring by PWD. The FBG sensors mounted onto the mild steel rod as a device-under-test haveprovided high sensitivity, good accuracy and linearity
