Experimentation of a Bridge WIM System in France and Applications to Bridge Monitoring and Overload Screening

For 15 years, bridge weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) systems have been studied in France, including through experiments conducted by the LCPC (now IFSTTAR) on steel orthotropic bridges within the WAVE European project. In this paper, the authors summarize experiments carried out from 1997 to 2010 and the applications of the collected data to bridge monitoring and overload screening. In addition, they analyze the influence of the bridge type and the weighting system's algorithm. The importance of sensor location in obtaining accurate results is highlighted, as are the challenges for bridge monitoring and maintenance.
