Overview of 40 Bridge Structural Health Monitoring Projects

چکیده
In the last 15 years, fiber optic sensing has become a useful and increasingly widely used tool for structural health monitoring of bridges and other civil structures. We have been fortunate to participate to their development and introduction to real field applications. This paper is an overview of 40 bridge monitoring projects carried out over the last 15 years in 13 different countries. In particular we concentrate on the analysis of the different types of bridges that were monitored, their situation (new construction, existing structure, refurbishment...) and the main purpose of the installed monitoring system. Finally, as an example of a Structural Health Monitoring project, we will briefly present the Monitoring system of the new I35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge in Minneapolis.

A case study for application of fuzzy inference and data mining in structural health monitoring
In this study, a system for monitoring the structural health of bridge deck and predicting various possible damages to this section was designed based on measuring the temperature and humidity with the use of wireless sensor networks, and then it was implemented and investigated. A scaled model of a conventional medium sized bridge (length of 50 meters, height of 10 meters, and with 2 piers) wa...
متن کاملDeflection Measurement of Masonry Arch Bridges with Tall Piers: Case Study of Shahbazan Bridge
A common practice for detailed assessment of masonry bridges is to use recorded deflection signature of mid-span of such structures due to predefined loading schemes. However, measuring the deflection of bridges with tall piers or those situated over deep valleys introduces certain difficulties, since common deflection-meters require a reference point relative to which the measureme...

متن کاملIntegrated System of Structural Health Monitoring and Intelligent Management for a Cable-Stayed Bridge
It is essential to construct structural health monitoring systems for large important bridges. Zhijiang Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that was built recently over the Hangzhou Qiantang River (the largest river in Zhejiang Province). The length of Zhijiang Bridge is 478 m, which comprises an arched twin-tower space and a twin-cable plane structure. As an example, the present study describes th...
