Technical Seminar:
A research, teaching and education-integrated bridge health monitoring platform

Date, time & venue

29 November 2023 (Wednesday), 17:00-18:00, Seminar via Zoom Meeting

Organized by

HKIE Civil Division and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Programme Highlight

This talk will overview a structural health monitoring (SHM) system for a butterfly-shaped arch footbridge at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The project is the product of a multidisciplinary academic collaboration. The SHM system consists of 88 sensors of 13 types to monitor environmental parameters (air temperature, air pressure, humidity, rain, and solar radiation), loads (winds, pedestrians, and structural temperature), and bridge responses (stress/strain, displacement, and acceleration). A research, teaching and education-integrated visualization platform has been developed.
