System Redundancy Evaluation for Steel Truss Bridge
In current bridge practice, all tension members in a truss bridge are identified as fracture critical members which implies that a collapse is expected to occur once a member of this type fails. However, there are several examples which show that bridges have remained standing and shown little …

Route Optimization for Automated Bridge Inspection with Genetic Algorithm
… (GA) to generate efficient routes for a robotic bridge inspection team. Using robots to automate the process of bridge inspection will improve human safety and reduce time and money allocated to bridge inspections. To do this, we attack the problem of minimizing and balancing routes for a team of …

Development of a long-term, multimetric structural health monitoring system for a historic steel truss swing bridge
The bridge stock across the United States is ageing, with many bridges approaching the end of their design life. The situation is so dire that the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the nation’s bridges a grade of “C+” in the 2013 edition of their “Report Card on America’s Infrastructure.” In …
