Structural Health Monitoring for Suspension Bridges: Interpretation of Field Measurements

Yang Deng and Aiqun Li, "Structural Health Monitoring for Suspension Bridges: Interpretation of Field Measurements"

This book presents extensive information on structural health monitoring for suspension bridges. During the past two decades, there have been significant advances in the sensing technologies employed in long-span-bridge health monitoring. However, interpretation of the massive monitoring data involved is still lagging behind. This book establishes a series of measurements for interpretation frameworks that focus on bridge-site environmental conditions, and global and local responses of suspension bridges. Using the proposed frameworks, it subsequently offers new insights into the structural behaviors of long-span suspension bridges. A valuable resource for researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of bridge structural health monitoring, it provides essential information, methods, and practical algorithms that can facilitate in-service bridge performance assessments.
