Abstract
Experimental technologies for obtaining as-constructed and as-is properties of constructed facilities and their actual loading mechanisms are needed to manage civil infrastructure systems for sustainability. The authors have developed an ensemble of field experimental technologies which individually or collectively serve various needs for bridge management. The technologies range from multi-input modal analysis to practical single-impact tests for follow-up, and from continuous multi-mode monitoring of bridge inputs and responses over its life-cycle to diagnostic static truck-load testing. Each technology affords the measurement of different deterioration, damage and condition indices with different sensitivity characteristics to various global and local deterioration and damage. Therefore, a collective application of bridge monitoring technologies and not any one test offers potential for reliable health-monitoring. The technologies developed by the authors and demonstrated on an operating test bridge are classified and discussed.
