An Integrated Real-Time Health Monitoring and Impact/Collision Detection System for Bridges in Cold Remote Regions

This report presents a research examining the feasibility of creating an integrated structural health monitoring and impact/collision detection system for bridges in remote cold regions, where in-person inspection becomes formidable. The research report includes a theoretical analysis of the impact event identification in Chapter II, laboratory experiment verification in Chapter III, and a field testing and an integrated Structural health monitoring system in Chapter IV. Based on the systematical research outcomes, the impact/collision event and the real-time bridge structural health status have been successfully identified and recorded, which could be used for bridge management and resources allocation in future.
