Research on fibre Bragg grating monitoring in the gravel soil landslide experiment

Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is a new sensor with numerous advantages. How to apply in the safety monitoring of landslide engineering is still in experiment and research stage. Here, FBG is used to monitor the landslide process of the gravel soil pile. Before monitoring experiment, the article first tests FBG packaging and burying effect by two tests in lab, one is sand pile landslide test which proves vertical buried is feasible and the other is loading test on the steel bar sensor which proves the wavelength change of FBG on steel bar sensor has a good linear relationship with the loading change. Then, buried the steel bar sensor in the gravel soil slope after simple encapsulation. Stress and strain monitoring results of grating sensors are obtained in landslide which is formed through the simulation of excavation construction. The experimental data show that through correct embedding FBG sensors can effectively monitor the stress–strain change of the slope. FBG provides a new way for the landslide early warning.
