Abstract

Wind induced motion in guy wires has proven to be of considerable importance when ascertaining the overall response of structures supported by such wires. We have investigated the use of fiber optic sensors to determine the guy wire's vibration field. The vibrational measurements have been correlated with locally measured meteorological data to provide a method of determining the wind parameters based on these values. A description of the fiber optic sensing technique, the fiber-guy wire physical arrangement, and the results of these studies are presented.
