A Novel Structural Health Management Approach for Steel Bridges
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Demonstrate and validate state-of-the-art and remote structural health and corrosion degradation monitoring of steel bridges * Employ system on two subject bridges to greatly reduce risk of catastrophic failure by providing advance warning of growing structural problems caused by corrosion/materials degradation * Subject Bridge 1 -1-20 Bridge, Vicksburg, MS - Steel truss through deck - About 23,000 vehicles per day - Westward movement of bridge piers E-1 and E02 on east side. Subject Bridge 2 - Government Bridge, Rock Island, IL - Steel truss through deck - Built in 1893 - About 10,300 vehicles per day - About five trains per day.
