Measurements of Thermal Gradient and Thermal Strain of Mortar Specimens Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor

As concrete structures are heated, thermal strain can be developed. Because of the boundary conditions, the thermal stress may be arisen. Thermal strain and temperature were measured simultaneously using an optical fiber sensor. Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor(FBG sensor) was used in the measurement. Because it can measure the strains more than two points with one line, it was possible to measure both thermal strain and temperature with one line. To compare data measured by FBG sensor, strain and temperature were measured using strain gauge and thermocouple. The FBG sensor could measure the strain under the temperature greater than $60^{\circ}C$ but strain gauge couldn't. Both the FBG temperature sensor and thermocouple could measure the temperature and the results are related each other linearly.

광섬유 격자 센서를 이용한 모르타르시편의 온도구배 및 열 변형 측정

FBG sensor의 다중 측정성을 이용하여 모르타르 시편의 열 변형률과 온도 변화를 동시에 측정하였다. 또한, 광섬유 격자 센서를 이용하여, 열 변화에 따른 모르타르 시편의 내부 온도 구배를 측정하였다. 열 변형률을 기존 strain gauge와 함께 측정하였을 때, strain gauge는 섭씨 60도 이상의 온도에서 오차를 보이는 반면, FBG 센서는 안정된 측정값을 나타냈다. FBG 온도 sensor로 측정한 온도 변화량은 thermocouple로 측정한 값과 비교하였으며, 선형적인 대응관계를 보였다.
