A structural health monitoring method proposal based on optical scanning and computational models by Wendy Flores-Fuentes, Ivan Yeniseysk Alba-Corpus, Oleg Sergiyenko, Julio C. Rodríguez-Quiñonez

“…The evaluation of such correlation is mandatory in order to verify if the observed bridge displacement is due to the nature of its operation or due to it is presenting structural damage. The proposed method is continuous structural health monitoring method, based on the combination of three approaches evaluated at laboratory environment: (1) a three-dimensional optical scanning system for displacement measurement, (2) a load measurement system for vehicle–bridge interaction assessment, and (3) a two-measurement systems data correlation; to be implemented in bridges at a real environment to collect their historical behavior. …”
