ABSTRACT

Nowadays, macrostructures such as bridges have relatively complete monitoring systems and evaluation systems, while the Tunnel Health Monitoring System (THMS) is still in its early stage of development. The design of THMS has not yet formed an effective paradigm, and the data offered by THMS has not been fully used by the existing evaluation system. Therefore, a complete THMS needs to be rebuilt from the perspective of real-time monitoring. Based on previous researches, this paper proposes an immobilized-mobile combined THMS(IM-THMS), which can gather data comprehensively and cost-effectively. The immobilized sensor network gathers data on the health of the tunnel environment, while the mobile inspection gathers data on surface defects. Given the high data refinement and high time-series of real-time monitoring and automatic inspection system, this paper rebuilds the tunnel health evaluation system. The proposed methods can provide more accurate guidance for the maintenance of the tunnel.
