Abstract

A large number of long-span bridges in mainland China have been constructed, which become the motivation of applications of structural health monitoring (SHM) technology. Many bridges have been implemented with advanced SHM systems in mainland China and Hong Kong. The SHM technology has been extend to life-cycle performance monitoring and evaluation, including long-term actions of loads and environment and local and global responses, natural hazards and man-made disasters. The SHM is a powerful tool to develop the methodology of life-cycle performance design, evaluation, maintenance and management of bridges; to develop new structural analysis methodology through validation and feedback from SHM results; and to assess the damage and loss of structures over large region post-earthquake and typhoon. Additionally, it is an experimental technique for scientific research of bridge engineering. Hopefully, the fundamental theory, numerical simulation, physical test as well as SHM could become the main wheels driving development of engineering, at least civil engineering. This paper presents the demonstrations of all above viewpoints.
