Development and Challenge of Structural Health Monitoring of Long-Span Bridges

Abstract:

This paper reviewed and discussed some key issues of structural health monitoring (SHM) of long-span bridges. Firstly, the current situation of the application of structural health monitoring technique to long-span bridges was summarized in detail. Secondly, starting from the purpose of ensuring the safety of operational bridges, the composition characteristics and functional requirements of structural health monitoring system of long-span bridges were discussed, which include the global design principles of health monitoring system and the design approaches for each subsystem. Finally, some challenges of the technique of SHM were proposed including structural force analysis, the principles of optimized distribution of sensors and the assessment methods of structural damages of bridges etc,.
