Title: RESEARCH PAYS OFF: CONNECTICUT'S BRIDGE MONITORING PROGRAM: MAKING IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS LAST
Accession Number: 00939833
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Through a cooperative research program, the Connecticut Department of Transportation and the University of Connecticut are utilizing several monitoring systems to continuously monitor the behavior of in-service highway bridges in both temporary and continuous applications. Response data collected in the past with temporary systems have been used successfully to guide bridge repair decisions, reduce project scopes, and save money. Response data collected with permanently installed systems will be used to define healthy behavior for in-service bridges and to serve as the basis for determining bridge integrity on a continuous basis. Further details are provided in this article along with a table showing the benefit (in dollars) of applying portable monitoring systems to highway bridges in several towns in Connecticut.
