Abstract

This paper presents a remote state monitoring system designed for and installed on the Hongcaofang Crossroad Bridge in Chongqing, China. In this system, three kinds of sensor, one of which is new, are installed in the bridge to periodically collect strain and deflection information. To control the operation of the sensors, a local computer is integrated in the pier of the bridge. The local computer processes the data from sensors, records processed results, and sends the state information to a host computer through the local Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN) using an ordinary modem. At the other terminus, the host computer receives and analyzes the data, stores the history information, queries the health state, and extracts abnormity information regarding the bridge. With the interconnect technology available through the PSTN, real time state information can be obtained on command in the monitoring room far from the bridge. This on-line monitoring system operated on the Hongcaofang Bridge for over two years. This paper reviews some of the more important results regarding both the strain and the two-dimensional deflection of the bridge, and discusses the experience gained thus far.
