Sensor Network Design for Monitoring a Historic Swing Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Significant advances in the development and customization of various sophisticated technologies for structural monitoring have emerged during the last decade. Technologies for instrumentation, monitoring, load testing, non-destructive evaluation and/or characterization, three-dimensional finite element modeling and various types of analyses have now become available at a reasonable cost. Within this framework, the paper focuses the issues addressed in designing a sensors network for dynamic monitoring of a historic swing bridge in Taranto (Italy).
