“…To address this challenge, a real-time distributed monitoring system would help engineers and managers assess the condition of infrastructure assets and repair them in a timely and safe fashion. Benefiting from their geometric (small size, sensor length, flexibility, and lightweight) and metrological advantages (accuracy, high recording frequency, millimetric spatial resolution, and sensitivity) [ 2 ], distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) have been widely used in civil engineering as a tool to assess the health and monitor infrastructure condition for the oil and gas industry [ 3 , 4 ], the power transmission industry [ 5 , 6 ], structural monitoring [ 7 , 8 ], the transportation industry [ 9 , 10 ], and security monitoring [ 11 , 12 ]. In addition, DOFS have been the subject of numerous studies related to the structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures, including investigating their ability to measure strains in reinforced concrete beams [ 8 ], detect internal cracks in concrete structures [ 13 , 14 ], and the stress transfer mechanisms between the components of optical fiber sensors [ 15 ].…”
