Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been applied to huge and important civil structures.
Fiber optic sensor is gathering much interest in structural health monitoring for civil structures due to its special features over conventional sensors such as greater sensitivity, electrical passiveness, freedom from electromagnetic interference, wide dynamic range and both point and distributed configuration [1].

This article addresses contemporary construction polymer elements found useful in civil engineering and construction in Russia due to their high technical and economical efficiency.
Under current circumstances, an efficient performance of capital construction essentially depends on many adjacent branches, such as mechanical engineering, metallurgy, forestry and wood production industry and some other industries.
First of all, polymers are widely and actively used in civil engineering and industrial construction.
That is why this material is recommended to use in walling engineering structures as the middle layer to avoid inflammation.
