Abstract

Considering the fact that the United States has more than 600,000 highway bridges, 46.4% of which are rated fair and 7.6% are rated poor, the installation of reliable bridge health monitoring systems is strategically essential in this country to reduce repair and rehabilitation costs as well as to prevent failures. This review paper presents a synthesis of the scientific literature on the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems installed in some US bridges over the last 20 years. The goal of this paper is to provide a view of the recent and current state-of-the-art in bridge health monitoring systems, as well as to conclude a "general paradigm" that is shared by many real-world structures. The review, which was carried out through a thorough search of peer-reviewed documents available in the scientific literature, discusses a bunch of monitored bridges in the US in terms of the utilized instrumentation, monitoring scope, and the significant outcomes. Finally, a brief overview of a bridge health monitoring program in the state of Pennsylvania will be discussed.
