Bridge Load Rating and Evaluation Using Digital Image Measurements
The objective of the research is to develop and implement a procedure for load rating based on field testing using digital image measurements. Field testing of a bridge is a relatively simple procedure, yet it is still only done on a very, very small fraction of bridges in the U.S. inventory. To properly allocate resources to determine whether a bridge repair, rehabilitation or replacement is needed, the actual load carrying capacity is needed from field testing and not an analytical model alone. We propose having a low-cost, nondestructive and reliable means to conduct field testing for bridge load rating and evaluation using image-based measurements.
