ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a composite structure (11) formed by a plurality of layers (13, 15, 15, 19, 21, 23) including an optical fiber (25) for structural monitoring purposes which is at least partly embedded in a surface layer (13) of said structure (11), and insulation means of the optical fiber (25) areas susceptible to repair with respect to the surface layer (13) in which they are integrated, particularly a protective cover (27) and top and bottom separating films (31, 33), and a process of repairing said areas comprising the following steps: removing the protective cover (27) and the top separating film (31), extracting the area, repairing the optical fiber, relocating the area and providing a new protective cover (27).
