1 Erosion Detection with a Fiber Optic Sensor-Enabled Geotextile Olivier ARTIERES Yves-Laurent BECK Cyril GUIDOUX TenCate Geosynthetics edf geophyconsult

2 The fiber optic sensor-enabled geotextile Principle It combines : 1. the geotextile mechanical properties (protection, soil friction, reinforcement) and hydraulic properties (filtration, drainage) 2. with the fiber optic sensing technology.

3 Time 4 The fiber optic sensor enabled geotextile : Performance Combined measurement of : Temperature (0.1 C) good indicator of leakage (< 1 l/m/min.) Optical fibre Leakage Distance

4 Time 5 The fiber optic sensor enabled geotextile : Performance Combined measurement of : Temperature (0.1 C) good indicator of leakage (< 1 l/m/min.) Strain (0.01%) good indicator of movement Optical fibre Movement Distance

5 Examples 1. Experimental dike : Ijkdijk piping (NL) 2. Canal dike (Marne to Rhine) (F)
