Abstract

This paper reports that the reinforced soil wall having the monitoring system using optical fiber sensor is applied to the actual highway embankment project and high embankment of land improvement project. Authors developed an "optical fiber sensor geogrid" in which an optical fiber sensor is installed within a longitudinal member of the geogrid reinforcement. The system allows the stability of reinforced soil walls to be monitored continuously during and after construction and to assign a stability evaluation index to the walls based on peak strain readings.
