The proposed project will investigate the development of a prototype bridge monitoring system
that will permit quantitative assessments of structural condition and safety both remotely and
in real-time. The research will also attempt to identify and integrate real-time video
surveillance methods and other related sensing technologies with the health monitoring system
to enable the system to be used for assessing bridge security. The prototype system will be
designed and deployed on a small-scale physical model of a bridge in the laboratory, and the
capabilities and peformance characteristics of the system will be evaluated for various
controlled deterioration and damage scenarios that are consistent with the effects of common
hazards affecting bridge condition and safety. The evaluation of the prototype monitoring
system under known and controlled conditions will enable recommendations to be made
regarding the design of similar systems for full-scale implementations of structural health and
security monitoring systems for in-service bridge structures.
