Rohit Mourya (Structural Health Monitoring System)

This document discusses structural health monitoring systems for bridges. It defines bridge health monitoring and describes the types of monitoring including time frames and scales. It outlines common monitoring metrics for bridges and examples of monitoring systems like lasers, accelerometers, and fiber optics. Applications of bridge monitoring systems are provided for bridges around the world. Specifically, it describes India's Naini Bridge and its monitoring system. Modern designs integrate sensors, data collection, communication and processing. The conclusion states that while methods exist to assess integrity, an automatic failure warning system has not been fully developed.

Introduction
Brief discussion of aging infrastructure
The transportation infrastructure is quickly aging. Increases in traffic, in both urban and rural areas, puts more strain on the bridge networks than was originally intended. Bridge engineers need a reliable way to assess structural integrity of bridges to maintain the continuous operation of the road network while ensuring the safety of the public.

Motivation for Report


State bridge engineers are responsible for many aspects of bridge networks. Due to the large number of systems that are available, it is impossible for an engineer to sort through all these systems without knowledge of: (a) the capabilities of a particular system and (b) which companies offer particular systems and services. This report briefly explains the concepts, advantages, and disadvantages behind commercially available health monitoring systems. It simplifies the task for system selection, from the large number of commercially available systems that exist, using a computer program to find the system that best fits the needs of a specific bridge.

Structural Health Monitoring Systems


The goal of structural health monitoring is the

determination of the location and severity of damage in buildings and bridges as they happen (i.e., in real time).

The essence of structural health monitoring is the

development of autonomous systems for the continuous monitoring, inspection and damage detection of structures with minimum labor involvement

Bridge Health Monitoring


Bridge monitoring is the application of structural health

monitoring (SHM) and inspection techniques to bridge structures.

The general definition for bridge monitoring, that is, the

application of SHM to bridge structures, does not rule out inspection, non-destructive evaluation and short-term monitoring.

Types of Monitoring
Time Frame :-

a) Short term b) Long Term c) Inspection d) Early Warning e) Collapse Warning Scale:a) Local b) Member c) Global

Monitoring Metrics
Monitoring metrics are a system of parameters intended to

measure bridge condition and performance. Depending on the type of bridge and the needs of the bridge owner, different measurements should be taken in order to properly monitor bridge health.

General Metrics: Acceleration Climatic Condition Curvature Displacements Load Tilt/Slope Scour

Concrete Metrics: Corrosion Cracking Location of rebar Strain Strength Tension Steel Metrics: Corrosion Crack growth Cracking Stain Tension

Types of Systems
Many types of systems are available for bridge health

monitoring. These systems involve a variety of different physical and chemical processes that have been harnessed to monitor certain bridge characteristics. Types: 3-D Laser Scanning Accelerometers Acoustic Emission (AE) Chain dragging Concrete Resistivity Digital Image Correlation (DIC) Electrochemical Fatigue Sensing System

Fiber Optics Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Impact Echo

Conclusion
With the relentless aging of the civil infrastructure, bridge

health monitoring is becoming more important every day. There are many methods to assess structural integrity and each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
Monitoring systems that can automatically and reliably

warn the owner when failure is imminent do not seem to be available at this time. Such systems are yet to be developed and may become a very useful tool in the future. For example, acoustic emission systems can locate damage, but it is difficult to quantify the extent of damage and the remaining service life. Thus, such information cannot warrant closure of the bridge.
