Intention: To analyze and develop an method for bridge well being monitoring and its inclusion in risk-based asset administration modelling
Background
At the moment evaluation of the well being state of bridges is often carried out via visible inspections, which might be subjective and rare. Structural Well being Monitoring (SHM) methods supply another with the potential for steady, real-time monitoring that would result in improved assessments of failure threat and better-informed asset administration selections. Up to now, obtainable monitoring strategies usually are not developed as part of a holistic method to help exploratory inspections and sensor information shouldn’t be integrated in asset administration.
Proposed undertaking
The intention of this undertaking is to develop a framework to determine the bridge well being state utilizing goal measurements obtained from an easy-to-deploy, transportable, sensor-based monitoring system, which can complement the prevailing visible inspection method. This proposed framework will then use the sensor information to help bridge asset administration selections, primarily based on the prognosis of the bridge well being state obtained. It’s envisaged that long term such monitoring approaches will supersede visible inspections of bridges. Wider influence is predicted via future purposes to various kinds of railway bridges, in addition to street bridges.
