Practical Considerations for Implementing SHM Systems in Highway Bridges
The field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an active field of research that utilizes a variety of technologies which are implemented on civil infrastructure such as sensors, data analytics, digital signal processing and communication. Most research focuses on the analytics and results of these systems with very few insights into the decision making and challenges of installing a comprehensive, real-time monitoring system on a highway bridge. This paper aims to highlight some of the practical considerations to implementing a SHM system covering the preliminary analysis of the structure, sensor selection and placement, data acquisition system selection, system installation and some lessons learned. The case study system was installed for the New Brunswick Department of Transportation Infrastructure (NBDTI) at the Westfield Route 7 overpass (asset W475) in Westfield New Brunswick. The bridge is a 58 m three span bridge built in 1986 consisting of six continuous prestressed concrete girders. This overpass handles a large volume of heavy truck traffic and permit vehicles and would provide insight into the traffic demands along Route 7.
