Highway Research BoardUS Transportation CollectionA comprehensive field detection method is proposed that is aimed at developing advanced capability forreliable monitoring, inspection and life estimation of bridge infrastructure. The goal is to utilize Motion-Sensing Radio Transponders (RFIDS) on fully adaptive bridge monitoring to minimize the problems inherentin human inspections of bridges. We developed a novel integrated condition-based maintenance (CBM)framework integrating transformative research in RFID sensors and sensing architecture, for in-situ scourmonitoring, state-of-the-art computationally efficient multiscale modeling for scour assessment
