Abstract
In case of short- and mid-span highway bridges, a large number of heavy vehicles introduce severe damages to bridge decks and girders. For health monitoring purpose, operating vehicle could be utilized because it avoids the application of artificial loading and interruption of any traffic flow. Furthermore, it may be possible to develop new monitoring method replacing a large scale and multi-channel measurement system. First this paper presents the results of field measurements and improvement of damage detection method. Next, basic idea of static damage detection algorithm using operating vehicle load is explained. Finally the paper presents an approach of using this technique to field application.
