The sensitivity of these two novel techniques to micro cracks is discussed and compared to standard traditional sensors. Moreover, the capacity of a DFOS technique to localize cracks and quantify crack openings is also assessed. The results show that the implementation of CWI and DFOS techniques allow the detection of early subtle changes in reinforced concrete structures until crack formation. With their ability to quantify the crack opening, following early detection and localization, DFOS techniques can achieve more effective monitoring of reinforced concrete structures. Contrary to discrete sensors, CWI and DFOS techniques cover larger areas and thus provide more efficient infrastructures asset management and maintenance operations throughout the lifetime of the structure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19020356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,17]],"date-time":"2019-01-17T03:02:03Z","timestamp":1547694123000},"page":"356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Distributed Fiber Optics Sensing and Coda Wave Interferometry Techniques for Damage Monitoring in Concrete Structures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2702-0103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antoine","family":"Bassil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IFSTTAR, COSYS-SII, Route de Bouaye, F-44344 Bouguenais, France"},{"name":"Inria, Team I4S, Campus de Beaulieu, F-35042 Rennes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundesanstalt f\u00fcr Materialforschung und-pr\u00fcfung (BAM), Unter den Eichen 87, 12205 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0493-2326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xavier","family":"Chapeleau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IFSTTAR, COSYS-SII, Route de Bouaye, F-44344 Bouguenais, France"},{"name":"Inria, Team I4S, Campus de Beaulieu, F-35042 Rennes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2501-2249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ernst","family":"Niederleithinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundesanstalt f\u00fcr Materialforschung und-pr\u00fcfung (BAM), Unter den Eichen 87, 12205 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Odile","family":"Abraham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IFSTTAR, GERS-GeoEND, Route de Bouaye, F-44344 Bouguenais, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dominique","family":"Leduc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GeM UMR 6183, University of Nantes, F-44322 Nantes, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1007\/s13349-016-0184-5","article-title":"Global overview on advances in structural health monitoring platforms","volume":"6","author":"Mesquita","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
