dc.description.abstractAn effective-soil-pressure sensor for geotechnical applications based on Fibre Bragg Gratings is presented. The sensor simultaneous measures total soil pressure and pore pressure, allowing the calculation of the effective stress of soil. Calibration of the sensor using pressurised air demonstrated a pressure sensitivity of 2.02x10 ± 2.84x10nm/kPa and 1.87x10 ± 6.88x10nm/kPa for the total and pore pressure respectively. This corresponds to a pressure resolution of 4.95x10 kPa and 5.46x10kPa for total and pore pressure using a 1pm interrogation system. Measurements undertaken in two types of soil demonstrated dependence of the total pressure sensitivity on soil density/stiffness. Pore pressure measurements agreed well with the preliminary calibratioen_UK
