Bridge Monitoring provides practical guidance on the monitoring of bridges, with a particular focus on the use of sensor technologies and bridge monitoring systems. As vital infrastructure assets, it is important that bridges are monitored effectively to ensure that they continue to be safe, operational and appropriately maintained.
Bridge Monitoring provides practical guidance on the monitoring of bridges, with a particular focus on the use of sensor technologies and bridge monitoring systems. As vital infrastructure assets, it is important that bridges are monitored effectively to ensure that they continue to be safe, operational and appropriately maintained.
Bridge Monitoring:
•provides a new look at the reasons for, and possible outcomes from, monitoring bridges
•discusses how to specify and plan for the instalment of a monitoring system
•outlines recent developments in sensor technologies
•includes a selection of international bridge monitoring case studies.
Part of a series of best practice guides written by experts at the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC), this book provides valuable information which will be useful to a range of stakeholders involved in the design, construction and management of bridges.
