LTBP Bridge Monitoring, Testing, and Instrumentation
The objective of the LTBP program is to collect, document, and make available high-quality quantitative performance data on a representative sample of bridges nationwide. As such, the LTBP Program will collect data, perform analyses, develop models and enhance education and practice aimed at extending bridge service life, optimizing structural systems, accelerating bridge construction, advancing the AASHTO specifications, monitoring bridge condition, contributing to national policy, and managing knowledge. Data will be collected through detailed inspections and evaluations, supplemented by a limited number of continuously monitored structures and forensic autopsies on decommissioned bridges. This paper focuses on the monitoring, testing and instrumentation portion of the program.
