One-Man Operated Bridge System (Integrated Bridge System)

Automatic Bridge Control System

Bridge vibration control is an important issue whose purpose is to extend the structural service life of bridges. Normally, the bridge is modeled as an elastic beam or plate subject to a moving vehicle. However, the moving truck on a bridge is a complicated problem that must still be researched. In this paper, we propose a new method, to overcome the huge load in the bridge a load cell is used ...

Sensors and Bridge Monitoring System

Rapid developments of structural sensing and control, data acquisition and processing, and computer technologies have made it feasible to monitor the structural health of large-scale structures in real time. SHM of large-scale infrastructures has increasingly attracted extensive interests from both fields of research and application. Based on recent research achievements of developing smart SHM...

A Rapidly Deployable Bridge System

Rapidly deployable mobile bridges are of direct relevance to military and civilian agencies. The US Army uses such bridges in a broad range of applications including assault, tactical, and general communication. Civilian use extends from temporary infrastructure improvements during natural disasters to planned situations that are equally critical. This paper describes a modular bridge system de...
