ABSTRACT

In road bridges of local governments, a routinely patrol inspection is not an easy task, although old bridges are to be known as damaged and deteriorated. Under the situation of limited budget and human-power, the surveillance of all bridges in the city is not practical.

Consequently, the system for detection of large deformation, subsidence and bump of the bridge is developed as a warning to pedestrians and drivers. A damage detection system is implemented in a road bridge. The system is further upgraded via transmission system, in order to transfer the warning to all bridge administrators. Results of check operation abnormal detection function, warning function, communication function was confirmed as effective.
