Abstract (EN): In this work we review the structural health monitoring techniques based on fiber Bragg gratings. The working principle of the fiber Bragg gratings sensors and the most common techniques to inscribe and interrogate these sensors are described. Several implemented examples are also presented, like the deformation monitoring of one historical building with reduced visual impact, the unidirectional acceleration measurements in a metallic bridge structure and the bidirectional acceleration monitoring in a 50 m mobile telecom tower. Finally, the implementation of an automated remote structural health monitoring system design to operate with optical sensors in a highway bridge is described. The obtained results prove the applicability of optical fiber sensors, namely fiber Bragg gratings for structural health monitoring. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
