Wireless structural monitoring systems consist of networks of wireless sensors installed to record the loading environment and corresponding response of large-scale civil structures. Wireless monitoring systems are desirable because they eliminate the need for costly and labor intensive installation of coaxial wiring in a structure. However, another advantageous characteristic of wireless sensors is their installation modularity. For example, wireless sensors can be easily and rapidly removed and reinstalled in new locations on a structure if the need arises. In this study, the reconfiguration of a rapid-to-deploy wireless structural monitoring system is proposed for monitoring short- and medium-span highway bridges. Narada wireless sensor nodes using power amplified radios are adopted to achieve long communication ranges. A network of twenty Narada wireless sensors is installed on the Yeondae Bridge (Korea) to measure the global response of the bridge to controlled truck loadings. To attain acceleration measurements in a large number of locations on the bridge, the wireless monitoring system is installed three times, with each installation concentrating sensors in one localized area of the bridge. Analysis of measurement data after installation of the three monitoring system configurations leads to reliable estimation of the bridge modal properties, including mode shapes.

Scour means the erosion of bed material by flow change when a bridge is constructed in a stream. Scour is one of the critical factors of a bridge failure. There are several methods for the monitoring of scour near bridge foundations; Sounding rods, Magnetic sliding collar System, Sonar system, underwater camera system and so on. In general, Sonar system is preferred due to its convenience and good accuracy. In this study, the new scour monitoring system was developed using profiling sonar sensor. The new system can measure a line profile of a seabed and has small size due to the effectively designed data logger. The performance of the new scour monitoring system was evaluated at a bridge pier in tidal environment. The measured local scour depths were discussed with the result of the empirical formulas; CSU, Froehlich, Laursen and Neill.

교량 상시계측시스템을 이용하여 교량을 감지할 경우 지속적인 교량의 거동이력을 확인할 수 있어 손상의 진행을 관리자가 손쉽게 확인할 수 있으며, 지진이나 홍수와 같은 대규모의 재난상황이 발생할 경우 교량의 상태변화를 정량적으로 파악하여 교량 통제 및 통행제한 등 적절한 사전 조치 등 취할 수 있다. 또한 보수 및 보강 등의 교량 성능향상 작업시점을 적절하게 판단할 수 있어 생애주기를 통한 교량 유지관리 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 교량 상시계측시스템에 적용되고 있는 다양한 계측시스템의 계측항목별 관리 기준치 설정방법 중 범용 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 교량의 관리기준치를 설정하는 방법을 분석하고 강상자형교에 대한 계측항목별 관리기준을 설정하여 유한요소 해석프로그램을 통한 강상자형교 상시계측시스템 계측항목별 관리기준치 설정의 기준을 제시하였다.

Load test for newly introduced precast segmental bridge is carried out to experimentally evaluate load carrying capacity, Analysis accompanied with the test is also performed and the results are used in the evaluation. In addition to initial evaluation of the bridge by load test, remote dynamic monitoring system to perform realtime assessment of the bridge condition is also under development. In this paper the procedure and results of load test and evaluation are presented along with introduction of dynamic monitoring system.

Advances in sensor technologies have led to the instrumentation of sensor networks for bridge monitoring and management. For a dense sensor network, enormous amount of sensor data are collected. The data need to be managed, processed, and interpreted. Data management issues are of prime importance for a bridge management system. This paper describes a data management infrastructure for bridge monitoring applications. Specifically, NoSQL database systems such as MongoDB and Apache Cassandra are employed to handle time-series data as well the unstructured bridge information model data. Standard XML-based modeling languages such as OpenBrIM and SensorML are adopted to manage semantically meaningful data and to support interoperability. Data interoperability and integration among different components of a bridge monitoring system that includes on-site computers, a central server, local computing platforms, and mobile devices are illustrated. The data management framework is demonstrated using the data collected from the wireless sensor network installed on the Telegraph Road Bridge, Monroe, MI.

In this study, we have developed a prediction model for expansion and contraction behaviors of expansion joint in Gwangan Bridge using machine learning techniques and bridge monitoring data. In the development of the prediction model, two famous machine learning techniques, multiple regression analysis (MRA) and artificial neural network (ANN), were employed. Structural monitoring data obtained from bridge monitoring system of Gwangan Bridge were used to train and validate the developed models. From the results, it was found that the expansion and contraction behaviors predicted by the developed models are matched well with actual expansion and contraction behaviors of Gwangan Bridge. Therefore, it can be concluded that both MRA and ANN models can be used to predict the expansion and contraction behaviors of Gwangan Bridge without actual measurements of those behaviors.

현재까지 다양한 토목구조물들은 여러 가지 요인에 의한 노후화와 축척된 손상에도 불구하고 별다른 조치 없이 계속해서 사용되고 있었다. 따라서, 이러한 구조물들의 효율적인 유지관리를 유해 계측관리가 중요시되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 비파괴계측에 의해 사장교의 실시간 계측모니터링시스템을 개발하고자 하며 이를 통해 교량의 안전관리를 하고자 하였다. 계측모니터링시스템은 교량의 유지관리를 도모하고, 교량 관리의 경제적 비용을 줄이게 되며 사장교의 새로운 설계 및 분석방법을 개발하는데 중요한 데이터를 제공할 것이다.

DuraMote is a remote sensing system developed for the "NIST TIP project: next generation SCADA for prevention and mitigation of water system infrastructure disaster". It is designed for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) of ruptures in water pipes. Micro-electro mechanical (MEMS) accelerometers, which record the vibration of the pipe wall, are used detect the ruptures. However, the performance of Duramote cannot be verified directly on a water distribution system because it lacks an acceptable recordable level of ambient vibration. Instead, a long-span cable-stayed bridge is an ideal test-bed to validate the accuracy, the reliability, and the robustness of DuraMote because the bridge has an acceptable level of ambient vibration. The acceleration data recorded on the bridge were used to identify the modal properties of the structure and to verify the performance of DuraMote. During the test period, the bridge was subjected to heavy rain, wind, and a typhoon but the system demonstrates its robustness and durability.

Recently the interest in the safety assessment of civil infrastructures has increased. As bridge structures become large-scale, it is necessary to monitor and maintain the safety of large bridges, which requires smart systems that can make long-term monitoring a reality . Civil engineers have applied monitoring systems to several bridges, such as the New Haeng-Ju Bridge and Riverside Urban Highway Bridge, but these applications have some problems with the sensors for long-term measurement, setup techniques for the bridge monitoring system and the assessment of measured data. In the present study, an optical fiber sensor smart system was tested and confirmed in laboratory tests on the concrete members. By Attaching optical fiber sensors to the structural parts of the Sung-San Bridge, the bridge load test was measured. These smart concrete structure systems can be applied to bridges and the load capacity of the bridge can assessed.
