What does the best of transportation engineering research have to say about maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of critical infrastructure? Structural Health Monitoring provides critical insight into answering these questions using new technologies that are changing the ways we tackle maintenance and rehabilitation of structures.
Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) provides an efficient way to estimate the static weight of a vehicle by measuring the dynamic tire force of a moving vehicle. Recently, emphasis has been placed on coupling these two complementary technologies in infrastructure evaluation and resiliency: SHM provides structural response or resistance while WIM provides actual loading conditions and future load prediction that enables determination of infrastructure capacity, resulting in the operating service loads needed for developing statistical live load models for use at the strength and service limit states.
SMS provides specialized, fiber-optic structural health monitoring (SHM) systems for bridges and tunnels and world-wide has worked with many agencies and engineering firms. Terry Tamutus, Founder and CEO of SMS,
In the State-of-the-Field event series, C2SMART leverages its consortium of researchers and experts to share a vision of the future of mobility and transportation systems. They'll share advances, opportunities, predictions,
Over the coming years, bridges and other physical infrastructure will experience unprecedented demands due to climate driven changes and trends in freight. These increasing demands are set against a backdrop
