Abstract
This paper discusses technical aspects of the experimental setup and calibration processing during centrifuge testing of single piles, instrumented with fibre Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors, under vertical loads. Results illustrate the influence of the pile head connection method and data processing/correction of FBG readings. First, experimental data demonstrate issues encountered when adopting a rigid connection between a loading device, and how these can be tackled by adopting a point-to-surface contact. Second, the paper presents a method to minimise, in FBG strain sensor data, issues relating to pile bending during routine compression calibration and centrifuge testing. RÉSUMÉ: Cet article aborde les aspects techniques de la configuration expérimentale et du traitement de la calibration lors des essais en centrifugeuse de pieux simples, instrumentés avec des capteurs de contrainte à réseaux de Bragg en fibre optique (FBG), sous des charges verticales. Les résultats illustrent l'influence de la méthode de connexion de la tête de pieu et du traitement/correction des données des capteurs FBG. Tout d'abord, les données expérimentales mettent en évidence les problèmes rencontrés lors de l'adoption d'une connexion rigide entre un dispositif de chargement, et comment ceux-ci peuvent être résolus en adoptant un contact ponctuel avec la surface. Ensuite, l'article présente une méthode pour minimiser, dans les données des capteurs de contrainte FBG, les problèmes liés à la flexion du pieu lors de la calibration de compression de routine et des essais en centrifugeuse.
