Structural Health Monitoring System

In the past decade, Los Alamos National Laboratories has evaluated six non-destructive damage detection algorithms in terms of their ability to detect and locate damage on bridges. While significant at the time, the state of the art has evolved such that damage cannot only be detected and located, it can also be quantified. Although numerous damage detection algorithms exist to detect a change in the structure, that information by itself is of little value to a state bridge engineer. What is needed is a structural health monitoring (SHM) system capable of evaluating the structural capacity and remaining service life of a bridge. The ultimate objective of this project is to integrate a damage detection algorithm capable of evaluating a bridge's structural capacity and estimating remaining service life into a structural health monitoring system.
