Abstract:

Although bridge testing has been an important tool for evaluating structures for several decades, it has only been within the last decade that specific effort has been given to develop systems that are capable of operating in an autonomous fashion. The development of an automatic and low-cost structural health monitoring (SHM) system is in high demand and crucial to reduce the costs associated with manual inspection, effectively monitor the status of bridges, and, therefore, minimize risk associated with bridge infrastructure. ; The Iowa State University Bridge Engineering Center (BEC) began a project in 2002 (through the Federal Highway Administration Innovative Bridge Research and Construction program) to evaluate the state’s first bridge constructed with high-performance steel. One of the objectives was to further the state’s expertise in long-term bridge monitoring.
