In the paper the optical sensor allowing measuring a direction, values and localization of bends and stresses in building structures is described. The sensitive element of the sensor is the microstructured fiber with three cores. The use of three-core fiber makes it possible to define the direction of deformation. Distribution of mode fields in fiber cores depending on fiber structure and bend value and direction is analyzed. The optimization of the sensitive element parameters depending on the application is proposed.
