Integration of bridge damage detection concepts and components : tech transfer summary.

Although bridge testing has been an important tool for evaluating structures for several decades, it has only been within the last decade that specific effort has been given to develop systems that are capable of operating in an autonomous fashion. The development of an automatic and low-cost structural health monitoring (SHM) system is in high demand and crucial to reduce the costs associated with manual inspection, effectively monitor the status of bridges, and, therefore, minimize risk associated with bridge infrastructure.
