Bridge health monitoring (BHM) has grown as an essential component of the maintenance
paradigm in any transportation network around the world. The mostly used visual inspection …

This paper presents a new computer vision-based method that simultaneously provides the
moving vehicle's tire loads, the location of the loads on a bridge, and the bridge's response …

This paper presents equivalent deflection as a new concept for bridge damage detection.
The equivalent deflection is similar to the real deflection and can be inferred from bridge …

Widespread monitoring of bridges is yet rarely employed at a territorial level due to the high
costs of monitoring systems. However, the aging of civil infrastructures, combined with the …

Abstract A Weigh in Motion (WIM) system is proposed, employing two fiber Bragg grating
(FBG) sensors to evaluate the strain at a point on a prototype bridge due to a moving …

Finite element (FE) model updating of bridges is based on the measured modal parameters
and less frequently on the measured structural response under a known load. Until recently …

The dynamic component of bridge traffic loading is commonly taken into account with a
Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF)—the ratio between the dynamic and static load effects …

This paper presents a revised theoretical interpretation for the analysis of bridge response
signals arising during a vehicle passage. The derivation shows that it is possible to …

Bridge influence lines can reflect the performance status of bridge structures and are an
important tool to evaluate high-speed railway bridges. Because a high-speed train can …

This study investigates the concept that when localized bridge superstructure damage is
present, the weights of passing vehicles inferred from a rotation-based bridge weigh-in …
