        abstract = {This paper deals with an issue of a rotational motion impact on a construction and presents
civil engineering applications of a fiber optic rotational seismograph named Fiber-Optic
System for Rotational Events \& Phenomena Monitoring. It has been designed for a
long- term building monitoring and structural rotations? recording. It is based on the Sagnac
effect which enables to detect one-axis rotational motion in a direct way and without any
reference system. It enables to detect a rotation component in the wide range of a signal
amplitude from 10-8
rad/s to 10 rad/s, as well as a frequency from DC to 1000 Hz. Data
presented in this paper show the behavior of a reinforced concrete frame construction on
different floors. Several measurements were carried out by placing the applied sensor on
different floor levels of a building. The laboratory and in-situ measurements confirmed that
Fiber-Optic System for Rotational Events \& Phenomena Monitoring is an accurate and
suitable device for applications in civil engineering.}
