The invention provides an
optical fiber sensor for simultaneously monitoring the stress and the initial
rust time of a reinforcing
steel bar, and belongs to the technical field of
structural health monitoring. The
optical fiber sensor comprises a single-mode
optical fiber core, a single-mode optical
fiber cladding, a structural
adhesive, a telescopic rubber sealing ring, an inner-layer stainless
steel tube, an outer-layer stainless
steel tube, stainless
steel tube capillary pores, a porous stainless steel tube, a coreless optical
fiber, a
steel bar coating film, a single-mode optical
fiber, a Bragg
grating, a connecting key and a
steel bar. According to the device, the deviation of the transmission spectrum of the sensor is monitored in real time, the stress and the initial
rust time of the steel bar are monitored in real time at the same time, the stress and
corrosion states of the steel bar are judged in time, maintenance measures are reasonably formulated, and the durability and the safety of a
reinforced concrete structure are guaranteed. The sensor is small in size, light in weight, resistant to
electromagnetic interference, resistant to
corrosion, high in sensitivity and worthy of application and popularization.
