Abstract
Bridges are a critical component of the transportation infrastructure and are subjected to numerous load types with varying magnitudes leading to premature deterioration. Continuous monitoring of the performance of a bridge can assist in determining the deterioration rate and predicting the remaining service life. This paper describes an information system for health monitoring of a full-depth, precast concrete bridge deck for the Parkview Bridge in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. The system is composed of a remotely accessible on-site data acquisition system and a senor network for monitoring stresses and temperature over the life-cycle of the bridge.
