Long Term Bridge Maintenance Monitoring Demonstration of a Movable Bridge: A Framework for Structural Health Monitoring of Movable Bridges
Movable bridges are unique structures with particular maintenance and repair needs. According to FDOT Engineers, the resulting rehabilitation and repairs cost much more than of a fixed bridge per square feet basis. The inspection and maintenance needs make movable bridges ideal candidates for demonstrating Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), or more specifically for this project, Bridge Health Monitoring for maintenance purposes. SHM can be defined as the measurement of a structure's operating and loading environment through use of a sensing system to track and evaluate incidents, anomalies, damage and deterioration. The objective of the project was to design, develop and implement a structural health monitoring system on a representative movable bridge located in FDOT District 4 for condition assessment mainly for maintenance purposes, detecting anomalies and evaluation of the bridge performance. The selected movable bridge, which was a representative bridge in terms of geometry and age, was and West-bound span of two parallel spans on Sunrise Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale. The researchers designed, developed an successfully implemented a comprehensive structural health monitoring system for the critical structural, mechanical and electrical components using approximately 200 plus sensors along with effective analysis methods for condition evaluation and maintenance purposes.
