Abstract
Optical fibre sensors have shown a potential to serve real time health monitoring of Slope and structure. They can be easily embedded or attached to the structures and are not affected by the electro-magnetic field. Furthermore, they have the flexibility of the sensor size and very highly sensitive. In this study, we conducted several laboratory on slope and field tests using a novel optical sensor based on Brillouin scattering and PVC pipe. One of the advantages of this technique is that the bare fibre itself acts as sensing element without any special fibre processing or preparation. Test results have shown that BOTDR can be a great solution for sensor systems of Slope.
