With the increasing number of bridges, especially large and complex bridges, higher requirements are put forward for the health status and operational safety of bridges. Therefore, the construction of bridge health monitoring system has become particularly important.
First of all, the bridge health monitoring system can monitor the structural performance and health status of the bridge in real time, find potential problems and hidden dangers in time, and provide a scientific basis for the daily management and maintenance of the bridge. This plays an important role in ensuring the safe operation of the bridge and prolonging its service life.
Secondly, with the advancement of technology and the promotion of policies, the investment and support for bridge health monitoring systems have been increasing. This makes the construction of bridge health monitoring system show an explosive growth momentum, and further promotes the development and application of bridge health monitoring technology.
At present, only more than 400 large bridges in China have installed structural health monitoring systems, but with the popularization of technology and the reduction of costs, it is expected that more bridges will be applied to health monitoring systems in the future. This will help improve the management level and operational efficiency of the bridge, and reduce the loss and impact caused by bridge damage or accidents.
WITBEE bridge health monitoring system is a system for real-time monitoring, evaluation and early warning by installing river and lake water level monitors, intelligent structure diagnostics, river and lake flow velocity monitors, edge computing gateways, etc. Through real-time monitoring of physical quantities such as strain, displacement, vibration, and cable force of the bridge, the system can detect the damage and abnormal phenomena of the bridge in time, and provide a scientific basis for the maintenance and reinforcement of the bridge.
With the increasing traffic flow and the ever-changing natural environment, bridges are facing more and more safety threats. The traditional bridge detection method has been difficult to meet the needs of modern bridge management, and the bridge health monitoring system can realize real-time monitoring and early warning of the bridge, effectively reduce the probability of bridge accidents, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
Second, the role of the bridge health monitoring system.
1.Real-time monitoring and early warning: The bridge health monitoring system monitors the structural status of the bridge in real time through high-precision sensors, and issues an early warning immediately once an abnormal situation is found, providing valuable time for relevant departments to take measures in time.
2.Evaluate the state of the bridge: Through the long-term monitoring of the physical quantities of the bridge, the overall state of the bridge can be evaluated, which provides a scientific basis for the maintenance and reinforcement of the bridge.
3.Optimize maintenance strategy: Through real-time monitoring and data analysis of bridges, we can understand the damage and evolution of bridges, so as to optimize maintenance strategies and improve maintenance efficiency.
4.Promote the development of scientific research: The large amount of data collected by the bridge health monitoring system can provide valuable research data for researchers and promote the development of related scientific research.
As an important part of the country's infrastructure, the safety of bridges is of paramount importance. With the continuous development of science and technology, the bridge health monitoring system has become an effective means to ensure the safety of bridges. This paper expounds the importance and role of the bridge health monitoring system and the relationship between it and the number of bridges in the country, aiming to arouse the attention of all sectors of society to this problem. It is hoped that by promoting the bridge health monitoring system nationwide, it can escort the safety of bridges in China. At the same time, it is also hoped that relevant institutions can strengthen the research and application in this field and continuously improve the level of bridge safety and security in China. Let's look forward to a safer and better future together!
