N2 - This paper reports on the development, implementation, and initial results of a solar powered, wireless monitoring system on a steel truss bridge in the state of Connecticut. This bridge is part of a continuing research project conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut and the Connecticut Department of Transportation to implement long-term structural health monitoring systems on bridges in Connecticut that are crucial to its highway infrastructure. The bridge being to be discussed is the longest truss bridge in the State. The monitoring system has been developed to continuously evaluate the hung supports of a 61 meter (200 foot) central section hung with four HSS sections at the corners. There is also a backup system consisting of 16 threaded rods at each corner support. The bridge has limited access, with long distances between sensor locations. This has necessitated the use of wireless sensors, overcoming the difficulty of connecting lengthy wires between sensors and recording hardware. Since access to the sensors is difficult, replacing batteries for each sensor on a regular basis is not feasible. Thus, solar panels are used to individually provide power to each sensor. The full monitoring system is remotely accessed from the University of Connecticut, providing system control, data collection and data analysis.
