Beschreibung
This book summarizes the development of an autonomous, continuous structural health monitoring (SHM) system that can be used to monitor typical girder bridges. The developed system features two key uses. First, the system can be integrated into an active bridge management system that tracks usage and structural changes. Second, the system helps bridge owners to identify overload occurrence, vehicle collision to the structure, damage and deterioration.
