Abstract:

In this article, we introduce an innovative approach for the seismic behaviour assessment of great length viaducts during or after a seismic event. This methodology is based on the combined use of a monitoring system installed at the structure and Finite Element Models. The sensors network provides real-time information about the structure, and its validity to continue in service after an earthquake. If anomalies are detected, the system triggers a number of alarms and coordinates human protocols for further evaluation of the structural health of the structure.
