A Bridge Health Monitoring System Based on NI Hardware and Software Overview Based on NI data acquisition hardware and related software, you can set up a bridge health monitoring system. This system not only meets the functionality requirements of the monitoring task, but also endures the severe environmental conditions that a bridge usually faces. This article discusses the fundamentals of structure health monitoring (SHM) and describes how the Shanghai JUST ONE Technology company implements SHM on the Donghai Bridge, Chinas first sea-crossing bridge. Introduction SHM is a standard engineering practice today for a variety of structures in many sectors. For bridges, SHM is of central importance. The major objective of bridge health monitoring is to identify damages or deterioration. Bridge health monitoring provides quantitative data of the bridge, and the data can be used for additional purposes as well. For example, the data can be used for accessing extent of damages/deterioration, evaluating the structural performance, responding to unexpected accidents, performing repair or strengthening and managing the bridges normal operations. The data can also be employed for research purposes to improve bridge design and construction technologies. Bridge health monitoring has some specific characteristics, such as the following: ? A bridge is a geographically distributed system, which is usually several to tens of kilometers in length. ? Bridges are usually working under rough environments and the data are gathered while the bridge is working. ? The monitoring is a long-term process and certainly a remote process, preferred with minimized on-site maintenance because of both the geographical distance and the environmental hostility. ? The monitoring is a continuous, real-time process, in which huge amounts of data are gathered. Smart techniques need to be employed to obtain characterizing information for evaluation from these data. These characteristics establish a set of
