Abstract:

During and immediately after a seismic event, information on the condition of the transportation network and individual assets can be limited without deploying personnel for inspection. Damages to bridge and/or overpass approaches could render bridges useless for evacuation and/or response activities. Therefore, employing low-cost sensing to monitor ground motion in the vicinity of bridges could be valuable to inform decision making for response and asset management. Low cost, direct sensing and analytics has potential to be utilized at bridge approaches and nearby slopes to help identify and prioritize where significant ground movement has occurred that may require field response. This research project was a first attempt to pilot test the feasibility of developing and testing a low-cost direct sensing node to identify ground movement and lay the foundation for field testing and ultimately improved response and resilience of transportation infrastructure in seismic zones.
