ABSTRACT
A structural health monitoring and safety evaluation system (SHM&SES) is deployed by Highways Department (HyD) to monitor the structural health condition of Stonecutters Bridge under its in-service condition and to evaluate its structural safety when exceedance of monitoring criteria are identified in certain locations and/or components.The SHM&SES is composed of 4 integrated systems, namely, structural health monitoring system (SHMS), structural health rating system (SHRS), structural health evaluation system (SHES) and structural health data management system (SHDMS). This paper outlines the functional and architectural requirements of the SHMS, SHRS, SHES and SHDMS. The modification works done on previous SHMS in HyD for enhancing the operational efficiency of SHM&SES are also described.
