Sensory monitoring system of the post‐tensioned concrete bridge over the Odra River in Poland Open
The paper presents the Structural Health Monitoring system installed on the posttensioned concrete road bridge over the Odra River in Poland. The bridge superstructure has a form of the 5‐span box girder with skewed supports, built using t…
Sustainable Bridges – Past and Future: Reflections on a European Project 2003 - 2007 Open
Twenty years ago, in 2003, a European project was started to increase the sustainability of existing railway bridges. This paper summarises what was achieved and looks ahead. Nine Working Packages were organized: (1) Background material; (…
Dynamic performance verification of the Rędziński Bridge using portable camera-based vibration monitoring systems Open
The assessment of dynamic performance of large-scale bridges typically relies on the deployment of wired instrumentation systems requiring direct contact with the tested structures. This can obstruct their operation and create unnecessary …
Influence of Permanent Deflections on The Vibrations of Bridge Spans in Operating Conditions Open
The paper presents the method and results of numerical simulations of the mutual dynamic interactions between vehicles and the bridge structure, which has defect in the form of excessive permanent deformations. The parametric analyses were…
Archives of Civil Engineering Open
Bridges are particularly vulnerable elements of transport infrastructures. In many cases, bridge structures may be subject to higher volumes of traffic and higher loads as well as more severe environmental conditions than it was designed. …
Modeling the vehicle-bridge interaction in the conditions of road level deformation Open
The paper presents a method and results of numerical simulations of dynamic interactions between vehicles and the bridge structure, which has defects in the form of excessive permanent deflections of their spans. The simulation analyzes we…
Characteristic degradation processes and defects of reinforced concrete bridges Open
The unambiguous identification of degradation processes and the damage they cause is a very important part of the diagnostics of bridge facilities and, as a result, has a fundamental impact on the efficient management of the maintenance an…

Comparison of forecasting models to predict
Dynamic Tests in Bridge Health Monitoring Open
Dynamic tests are one of the most significant diagnostic procedures applied in Bridge Health Monitoring in many countries. The paper presents a proposal of unified classification of the bridge dynamic tests together with review of the test…
Sensing and monitoring in tunnels testing and monitoring methods for the assessment of tunnels Open
The paper presents a review of testing methods and a classification of strategies and tools in terms of technologies and techniques applied to the monitoring of tunnels. In particular, the topic is contextualized through a brief introducti…
