A Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) embedded strain sensor is put forward. This method can make sure the survival of the sensor and solve the problem of over range measurement. It is mounted into the bridge anchor zone to detect the decay strain derived from cable body. Based on the analysis of bridge cable, design requests of this sensor are known as package structure, modulus of elasticity of package which must be matched up with the anchor material. Finally, epoxy glue with micro silicon is used as the package layer. To make sure the performance of the sensor, tensile tests are conducted by tensile testing machine, the results show that the linearity of sensor is 0.999 74, and the sensitivity is 2.74 pm/N, good in repeatability. And then the sensors are put into the cable anchor, tensile test of the cable is implemented, and the sensor is good at linearity and repeatability.
