Table 3 Framework of the BHM standardization system

From: Standardization construction and development trend of bridge health monitoring systems in China

Approach

Component

By standardizing implementation processes of BHM systems

Design, construction, acceptance, maintenance, management.

By standardizing the monitoring of different types of bridges

Beam-like bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, bridge groups.

Or pedestrian bridges, highway bridges, railway bridges, and rail-cum-road bridges, bridge groups.

By standardizing monitoring technologies used for BHM

Piezoelectric technology, optical fiber technology, global positioning system technology, radar technology, video technology, resistance technology, capacitance technology, weight-in-motion technology, wind monitoring technology, elasto-magnetic technology, connected pipe technology, etc.

By standardizing application functions in BHM systems

Static data collection, dynamic data collection, statistical analysis, modal parameter identification, early warning thresholds, fatigue assessment, etc.
