How to make Monitoring more attractive to Bridge Owners

There is a wide gap between bridge owners needs and scientist's desire. Monitoring based assessment of bridges has therefore not really arrived in bridge managers processes. We have to do the necessary only, work out clear objectives, present plausible explanations, offer interfaces to LCE and BIM, create standard applications with plenty of references and submit results that fit into the owners’ work process. How to do this will be explained presenting actual cases from the world longest suspension bridge (Canakkale Bridge 2023m span), several bridge cases in India and China as well as Offshore Applications.
