Abstract: During the loading process, strain gauges connected to measuring devices are usually used to detect the strains of structural load-bearing members. Nowadays, newer and more sophisticated measurement methods are being developed. One of these involves the application of amorphous glass-coated microwires for non-contact detection of mechanical strains. This paper presents the results of research work aimed at finding a suitable carrier or transfer medium for such microwires. The identification of a suitable transfer medium was part of extensive theoretical and experimental research focusing on non-contact detection of mechanical strains based on amorphous glass-coated microwires. The results present an innovative and effective approach for sustainable practices in various fields of construction activity.
