Abstract : Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is essential for evaluating the state of cur-rent civil infrastructure. This study explores the use of guided waves specifically for SHM in mortar plates with sustainability and long-term performance as focal points. Optical fibers are strategically embedded in the plates to transmit light for monitoring purposes. Guided waves offer a non-destructive method for detecting faults, while optical fibers enable sustainable and low-impact real-time monitoring. This approach minimizes the need for external sensors and reduces material waste. The process entails the production of guided waves using piezoelectric transducers and transmitting them through the mortar plate. Optical fibers are embedded in locations that ensure minimal interference with structural integrity and optimize light transmission. This method streamlines the monitoring system, minimizes potential failure points, and aligns with sustainable practices in civil engineering. Further research is required to validate its effectiveness across diverse structural configurations and materials.
