eData Bridge Monitoring Application

A unique opportunity to evaluate highway bridge deck design. Acquire data from the system and perform subsequent analysis to evaluate the performance of the bridge deck. One of the primary objectives is the comparative analysis of long-term bridge deck performance. This objective will be accomplished through qualitative and quantitative analyses of bridge deck conditions. Qualitative analyses include crack mapping and surveying operations. Quantitative analyses are mostly focused on how strains in the bridge decks change when exposed to changing weather conditions and vehicle load events. A second objective is to compare the load carrying mechanisms of the bridge deck.

Features:

• Data Acquisition
• Long-Term Evaluation
• Live Load Testing

Benefits:

• Presents a unique opportunity to develop a better understanding of local reinforced concrete bridge deck behaviors and load paths through the deck and substructure.
• Heightened understanding of bridge deck performance under vehicle loading and varying, long-term weather conditions.
• Better planning for infrastructure health as well as improved bridge deck design
