摘要: Bridges constitute critical nodes of transportation systems, and therefore, ensuring their continuous operation is of utmost importance for safe and efficient transportation. Currently, visual inspections and simplified analysis techniques are employed for condition assessment and for decision making about bridges. A novel approach to bridge condition assessment is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), defined as the measurement of operating and loading environment and critical responses of a system to track and evaluate incidents, anomalies, damage and deterioration. The objective of the project is to develop an SHM framework for integrative information system design. This framework is expected to improve bridge safety and to have efficient operation, effective and low cost maintenance by taking advantage of new technological advances. Movable bridges are considered as focus bridge type, because these bridges exhibit various structural, maintenance and operational problems. In the study, inspection and maintenance records of the movable bridges are analyzed to determine the current condition of these bridges as given in these reports. Then, numerical and experimental studies are developed and conducted. Data processing and some novel analysis methods that are being employed by the writers are summarized along with examples from laboratory studies. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Florida State Dept. of Transportation, Tallahassee.
