Abstract

Aim at the force of optical sensing cable for a distributed optical fiber sensing monitoring system applied in embankment dams, a loading apparatus is designed. The apparatus is to simulate work condition when the optical sensing cable is in use. Some grooves with different angles at the bottom of loading board of the apparatus are set to perform variety of forces applied to the optical sensing cable under the loading board. The groove angles represent different direction of the force in the embankment dams. The commercial finite element analysis software Ansys9.0 is applied to analyze the deformation of the optical cable in loading experiments. The results of analysis are helpful to guide the experiment in the next step.
