A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) displacement sensor based on synchronous sensing is developed for real-time monitoring of a tunnel lining. The sensing principle and mechanical structure of the proposed sensor are analyzed and simulated, and its sensitization effectiveness and temperature compensation are verified. Equivalent model tests show that the sensor has a good linear sensitivity of 19.48 pm/mm and an excellent precision of 5.13×10 in the displacement range of 0-25 mm, which is basically consistent with the simulation results. The key traffic parameters of the train were successfully obtained by real-time monitoring of the tunnel lining in a field trial, which shows the superior capability of micro-displacement measurement of the sensor. Furthermore, good stability and excellent creep resistance have also been demonstrated. Our results provide theoretical guidance for the fabrication and package of the FBG displacement sensor, which is valuable for structure health monitoring (SHM) in civil engineering applications.

In recent years, civil engineering has increasingly embraced communication tools for automation, with sensors playing a pivotal role, especially in structural health monitoring (SHM). These sensors enable precise data acquisition, measuring parameters like force, displacement, and temperature and transmit data for timely interventions to prevent failures. This approach reduces reliance on manual inspections, offering more accurate outcomes.

Conventional floating bridge systems used during emergency repairs, such as during wartime or after natural disasters, typically rely on passive rubber bearings or semi-active control systems. These methods often limit traffic speed, stability, and safety under dynamic conditions, including varying vehicle loads and fluctuating water levels. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel Hydraulic Self-Adaptive Bearing System (HABS).

Structural design usually adopts uniform temperature action. However, during the actual construction of the structure, the temperature field acting on the structure is inhomogeneous. Therefore, the simulation of the construction of statically indeterminate steel structures considering only the uniform temperature field cannot truly reflect the temperature action after structural molding and the evolution of the stress performance of the temporary stress system of structural construction.

This paper is devoted to the development of a window-type inductive current transformer (iCT) with a rated primary current equal to 400 A and two secondary windings with rated currents of 5 A and 1 A. Its novelty concerns the presentation of this process in the case of an iCT with a 0.2S accuracy class ensured not only for a sinusoidal current of a frequency of 50 Hz but also for the transformation of distorted current in the harmonic frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 kHz.

Localization accuracy in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios is often hindered by the complex nature of multipath propagation. Traditional approaches typically focus on NLOS node identification and error mitigation techniques. However, the intricacies of NLOS localization are intrinsically tied to propagation challenges.
