Application of bridge continuous shape measurement system based on optical fiber sensing technology in bridge post-seismic detection

Bridge shape is the important indicator to estimate the safety of the bridge. A bridge shape measurement system based on fiber optic gyroscope is builded up to survey the continuous shape of bridge. This measurement system comprises angular velocity sensor, linear velocity sensor, position sensor and etc. The bridge shape survey using the leveling measurement and bridge continuous shape measurement system was carried out after the earthquake. By comparing the data before and after the earthquake, the numerical values of the two method were similar. The experimental results show that the proposed system is an effective measurement method.
