On the Static Monitoring of Bridges and Bridge-like Structures

On the Static Monitoring of Bridges and Bridge-like Structures Grosso, A.E. Del Primary Author mixed material bibliography Taylor & Francis 2012 en English Bridge Maintenance, Safety, Management, Resilience And Sustainability Monitoring of the static response of bridges and bridge-like structures under service and environmental loading has been recently considered a valid alternative to the more classical methods based on the measurements of the dynamic response. The paper reviews and compares some of the most common data processing techniques used both in the dynamic and in the static monitoring, with the aim of outlining the main differences in the characteristics of the information extracted. Subsequently, a discussion is presented, based on experiences gathered both from practical applications and from research experiments, on advantages and disadvantages of the static monitoring approaches. In particular, static monitoring techniques based on the continuous measurement of strains and the influence of environmental conditions on the reliability of the damage identification process are addressed.
