Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Bridge condition assessment by using structural health monitoring (SHM) data has been recognized as a promising condition-based preventive maintenance method. The monitoring concept for structural systems has undergone a rapid evolution over the past decade, and it still plays an important role in the efficient use of structural monitoring data in the reliability assessment and prediction models. This Special Issue will be based on monitoring systems to effectively monitor the structural reliability assessment process, show the use of monitoring data to develop predictive models, and how it plays an important role in structural health testing and reliability analysis.

Short and medium-span bridges account for more than 90% of the bridges in China, and it is not suitable to use conventional health monitoring technology to monitor them. Based on an analysis of the proportion of live load, displacement under load, the action time of live load and other factors affecting short and medium-span bridges, this paper determines a feasible technical solution using mid-span deflection to monitor bridges with requirements including measuring range, resolution and accuracy. A set of wireless laser displacement monitoring technologies and equipment is studied by using the phase laser ranging method and the principle of pulsed laser ranging, and the reliability of the data is verified by experimental tests. Using both practical application cases and economic analysis, this paper proves that the technology has significant application advantages for short and medium-span bridges. Full article
