The maintenance and repair of bridges (and other large scale infrastructure projects) is a major area which could benefit from Structural Health Monitoring technology. Inspections on can take long time require many people, are therefore conducted infrequently. This low frequency inspection leaves the chance that damage dangerous critical failures occur during timeframes between inspections. It ...

Abstract Permanently installed structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are now a viable alternative to traditional periodic inspection (nondestructive testing (NDT)). However, their industrial use is limited, and this article reviews the steps required in developing practical SHM systems. The transducers used fixed location, whereas NDT, they generally scanned. aim reach similar performance ...

Abstract
 
 Information technology and the Internet of Things are developing rapidly, resulting in changes all fields, including monitoring testing bridges. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is currently an alternative to replace conventional visual inspections. This study aims determine trends use on bridges, cost factors challenges faced, so that they can be considered referenced i...
