Abstract

The University of Vermont is in the process of constructing a new major facility to house various biotechnology research laboratioes and offices. This five storey, 6000 square meter (65000 square foot) concrete structure, named the Stafford Building, has a reinforced concrete superstructure. During the construction, a number of optical fiber cables have been embedded into the concrete superstructure. They will allow monitoring of stresses incurred during the construction phase and concretr curing as well as vibration sensing and internal crack detection. The sensors will also permit long term studies of the building's in-service performance and overall health. A description of the sensor choices, physical placements, use and preliminary measurements will be presented.
