Abstract:

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is currently one of the fastest-developing branches of structural engineering. It is believed that the proper application of this technique can contribute to increased structural safety, optimized maintenance schedule, more accurate estimation of remaining useful life, developing of early warning systems as well as creating asset prioritization schemes. However, SHM has not been applied so far to ferry dock bridges in Norway despite being a critical part of the infrastructure equal to bridges where SHM has been the topic of extensive research in recent years. In this study, the potential benefits and challenges related to implementing the SHM system on ferry dock bridges are discussed. The following topics are briefly covered in this paper: damage detection, the feasibility of population-based SHM, the importance of tidal effects, and the identification of impact forces during docking operations.
