Urban Dark Fiber Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Bridge Monitoring
Résumé
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology applied to telecommunication optical fiber networks offers new possibilities for structural health monitoring. The dynamic responses of five bridges are extracted along a 24-km long optical fiber crossing the Lyon metropolitan area in France. From their characteristics signals, three physical parameters informing on the health of structures have been determined: vibration frequencies, damping and modal shapes. The fiber measurements are in agreement with velocimetric data serving as reference. The telecom optical fiber records the dynamic response of bridges in several directions and thus allows the reconstruction of 3D deformation modes using their orthogonality properties. Time tracking of frequencies, commonly used to assess structural integrity, shows that the average values of natural frequencies vary cyclically between day and night. The increase in frequencies during the night does not exceed 2% and probably reflects an overall stiffening of the structures due to the drop in temperature. The telecom fiber allows to obtain deformation and damping identity of structures, highlighting soil-structure coupling between the bridge and underlying soil. This study shows that it is possible to assess the spatial and temporal variability of bridge dynamic response from DAS data using existing fiber networks.
