Bridge Sensors

The book progresses from the basics of aging infrastructure and bridge vulnerabilities to the specifics of sensor technology, data analysis, and real-world applications. It investigates different types of sensors, like strain gauges and fiber optic sensors, detailing their operation and placement, and explores data analysis techniques, including machine learning, to predict bridge lifespan.

Case studies demonstrate the practical benefits and challenges of implementing structural health monitoring systems, illustrating the economic and social impacts of these technologies on civil engineering and transportation infrastructure.
