Bridge Health Monitoring (BHM) Techniques and Case Study

Bridge health monitoring (BHM) techniques can be divided into categories of utility, serviceability, and safety. BHM uses instruments to assess the dynamic response of bridges through either long-term or periodic monitoring. The main BHM techniques include visual inspection, non-destructive evaluation methods like stress-wave propagation, eddy current testing, and acoustic emission testing, as well as continuous remote monitoring. A case study examines the application of these techniques to the Grove Isle Bridge in Miami, Florida.
