Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems in civil engineering structures have been a
growing focus of research and practice. Over the last few decades, optical fibre sensor (OFS) …

Pipelines play a critical role in transporting water, oil, and gas and are indispensable for
urban development. However, monitoring underground pipelines is challenging due to the …

Leakage is undesirable in water distribution networks, as leaky pipes are financially costly
both to water utilities and consumers. The ability to detect, locate, and quantify leaks can …

Distributed optical fibre sensors have been applied in monitoring the structural health of
water pipelines over the past decades. Most of these studies show that distributed optical …

The water distribution systems in utility tunnel are considered as the lifeline projects. The
leakage monitoring of water supply and drainage pipelines is closely related to the overall …

Water pipeline condition monitoring is a challenging task that requires in-depth research
and investigation. Leakages in pipelines can waste large quantities of water daily and affect …

Desiccation cracking of clay can significantly affect its mechanical and hydraulic
performance. Discrete fiber reinforcement is known to be an effective method for prevention …

Transient based technique is known as one of the most economical ways for pipeline
condition assessment. This technique involves monitoring and analysing pressure transient …

Distributed fiber optic sensing techniques are suitable for pipeline leakage monitoring owing
to their long-distance sensing abilities. In this work, a novel pipeline leakage detection and …

Expansive soils are widespread in major parts of India and Australia. These swell in
presence of water and shrink in its absence, leading to development of desiccation cracks …
