| Abstract: |
The New Forth Crossing, currently being constructed over the Forth Estuary will be 2.7km in length and will include the world’s longest three tower cable stayed bridge. To implement a state-of-the- art inspection and maintenance system on this bridge a fully integrated Structural Health Monitoring System (SHMS) will be installed to monitor performance, give advanced warning of structural problems, and allow the planning and programming of a targeted inspection, intervention and maintenance regime. Comprising approximately one thousand sensors the SHMS will monitor, archive and process the environmental conditions, bridge actions and the associated effects and enable the diagnosis of structural problems and the prognosis of the future service life of the bridge. |
