A vibration-based bridge scour monitoring technique
… most common cause of bridge failure has been “scour” – the gradual erosion of soil around bridge foundations due to rapid water flow. A reliable technique to monitor scour could potentially guide timely repair and, in turn, mitigate the risk of future scour-induced bridge failure. Currently, …

Smart rocks for bridge scour monitoring -- Design and localization using electromagnetic techniques and embedded orientation sensors
<p>"River bridge scour is an erosion process in which flowing water removes sediment materials (such as sand, rocks) from a bridge foundation, river beds and banks. As a result, the level of the river bed near a bridge pier is lowering such that the bridge foundation stability can be compromised, …

A SHM-based decision support system for risk management of bridge scour
Flood-induced scour, the erosion of material around bridge foundations due to flowing water ,is by far the leading cause of bridge failures worldwide. Although recent developments in sensor technology have resulted in more structures being monitored, practical applications of scour monitoring …

Magneto inductive communication system for underwater wireless sensor networks
… number of applications in underwater environment monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, military applications and ocean exploration. Among the four possible means of underwater wireless communication, namely acoustic, electromagnetic (EM), magneto-inductive (MI) and optics communication, MI …

Real-time monitoring of scour and sediment deposition evolution at bridges and offshore wind turbine foundations based on soil electromagnetic properties
… the development of a novel methodology for monitoring the evolution of scour and sediment re-deposition processes in the vicinity of foundation structures. The system employs two different devices in the Amplitude Domain (AD): an off-the-shelf and a new low-cost prototype sensor that yields …
