...Saadoon Kareem Hussein; Mohammad Hosein Dehnad; Hosein Zanjirani Farahani The strategic integration of advanced information technologies ( IT ) into road and bridge infrastructure can improve efficiency, sustainability, and resilience, yet adoption remains uneven in small and mid-sized public...

...Chunli Ying; Ashraf El-Hamalawi; Shanqin Chen; Daguang Han Maintaining and modernising bridge structures is crucial to ensuring their structural integrity and public safety. This paper presents an innovative, semi-automated approach to transforming 3D point cloud data of bridges into precise...

... algorithm. The case study examines routes passing by the vulnerable asset of bridges. The results showed a significant improvement of network connectivity and the potential of the method to serve as a basis for updated transport infrastructure planning practices. 19 10 2021 23 09 2022 ICE...

...Andrea Maroni, PhD; Enrico Tubaldi, PhD; Hazel McDonald, PhD; Daniele Zonta, PhD Flood-induced scour is the principal cause of bridge failure worldwide. Nevertheless, bridge scour risk assessment is still based on visual inspections, which may be affected by human errors and cannot be performed...

... thinking and justification for the four strands of Plexus’s research are described. Finally, the briefing draws these strands together into a proposition for the research, development and implementation of a new generation of transport bridges building on the research reported in this special issue...

... of bridges value the collection of data that can be processed into useful information to inform decisions about future management of structures. Installing, powering and receiving data from sensors is not always convenient or possible, but satellite monitoring may provide the ability to measure bridge...

... on the investigation of the factors that have limited, so far, the development of a consistent design and assessment approach for integral bridges (IBs). This paper presents a review of previous research and current design practices for IBs, followed by an overview of monitoring studies in the laboratory...

... bridge in South Africa. The main objective of this structural monitoring project was to assess the effect of environmental factors on integral bridge abutment movement, with specific focus on thermal effects. The data obtained from the instrumentation enable designers to compare real and assumed...

... accrued from a network of fibre-optic sensors installed within a composite steel–concrete half-through railway bridge. The goals were (a) to characterise automatically the behaviour of the bridge based on sensor measurements and, (b) based on this characterisation, to determine when...

...Ruodan Lu; Ioannis Brilakis This paper describes the design, implementation and benchmarking of a framework for automating the process of geometric digital twinning for existing slab and beam-and-slab bridges. Called Lukis, the framework followed a top-down strategy to detect and twin bridge...

The proposed method was applied in a pedestrian bridge in Greece and permitted to document statistically significant changes in its first vertical modal frequency only during a certain interval for which...

Data gathered from these instruments have changed the hands-on assessment of infrastructure behaviour to include data processing and statistical analysis procedures. Engineers wish to understand the behaviour of the infrastructure...

A key objective in the collection of these asset data is that these can be processed into useful information that can inform best practice for the design of new structures and the management of existing stocks...
