Structural Health Monitoring of Long-Span Suspension Bridges

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In recent decades, structural health monitoring systems have been developed to measure the loading environment and responses of long span suspension bridges in order to assess serviceability and safety while tracking the symptoms of operational incidents and potential damage. This helps ensure the bridge functions properly during a long service life and guards against catastrophic failure under extreme events. This book systematically introduces the fundamentals and outlining the advanced technologies for achieving effective long-term monitoring.
