Abstract text:
The development and the implementation of a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system is a key aspect in assuring and evaluating various bridge structures for their capacity to serve their intended purpose. With a SHM system help, degradations can be identified even at an early stage of their development and the bridge administration can take the optimum decision for the structure. Due to the budget limitation, it is essential to determine the most appropriate strategy in order to minimize the cost of intervention works and to maintain the structure in optimal condition for exploitation. If the degradations are not identified early, and continue to expand, they will reach a point in impaired smooth running of traffic, and would even compromise the structure. This paper presents some essential features related to the evolution of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technology for bridge structures.
