A Neural Network-Based System for Bridge Health Monitoring

Article Preview

Abstract:

A bridge health monitoring system based on neural network technology is proposed in this paper. Two major ground excitations recorded in Taiwan were used to establish the NARX-based system. Analytical results from different methods including transfer function, ARX-based model, and the proposed neural network-based system were used to evaluate the efficiency in health monitoring. The result shows that the proposed system can be used successfully with superior advantages after major earthquakes for bridge health monitoring.
