A Study on the Applications of Structural Health Monitoring by Employing Wireless Sensor Networks in Bridge

The main idea of this research is to highlight the current technologies and developments in the domain of structural health surveillance (SHM) in applying wireless sensor networks (WSN) in civilian infrastructure bridges. The requirement for SHM has become important for the fields of Wireless engineering. The large sensor networks technology is emerging as the detection paradigms that the field of structural engineering has begun to consider as substitutes for conventional tethered monitoring systems, Capable of significantly improving the flexibility and versatility of SHM -WSN deploy as an essential tool for practical bridge applications and building advantages. The wireless structural health monitoring systems are easy to install, processing edge data and low cost detection. Hence, there is a tendency to apply WSN technology to replace traditional wired control systems. Although-have-been successful applications submitted SHM. In some large civil structures using the WSN technology in the laboratory and in the field, it is still too limited to be used for practical applications in structures. Consequently Large-scale WSN applications running in the structures civilians remain a priority to be examined by the laboratory evaluation to eventually obtain the desired goal for SHM.
