Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure strain, temperature, pressure and other quantities and they can help to make informed decisions and collect data in 75% less time than traditional sensors. So, this paper indicated the definition of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), Optical fibers advanced materials, What are optical fibers made of, advantages of fiber-Optics over copper cables, Types of Parameters to be measured, Main Challenges, Optical Fiber Sensor System Basic Components, Types of Fiber Optic Sensors, FO Sensor Applications, Fiber Optic Sensors for Civil Engineering and after this a brief introduction of the basic SHM concepts, the main fiber optic techniques available for this application are reviewed, emphasizing the four most successful ones. Then, two examples of the use of OFS in real structures are also addressed. As a result, this paper provided a tutorial introduction and comprehensive background on this subject such as how monitoring of Underground houses in Libya and the best method to monitor these types of buildings. Also, finding the most relevant current technical challenges because there are no components for the building. To sum up, this paper will figure out the convenient sensor type and the best installation method for these kinds of buildings. Finally, this paper also a forecast for the future of OFS for SHM. In addition, some of the challenges to be faced in the near future are addressed.
