Abstract

With more than 600,000 highway bridges, 46.4% of which rated as fair and 7.6% rated in poor condition, United States is one of those countries in which the installation of reliable bridge health monitoring systems is strategically necessary to minimize and optimize repair and rehabilitation costs and to prevent failures. In this review paper, a synthesis of the scientific literature relative to the SHM systems installed in some U.S. bridges over the last 20 years is presented. This review aims to offer interested readers a holistic perspective of recent and current state-of-the-art in bridge health monitoring systems and to extract a “general paradigm” that is common to many real structures. The review, conducted through a comprehensive search of peer-reviewed documents available in the scientific literature, discusses several bridges in terms of the instrumentation used, scope of the monitoring, and main outcomes.
