Abstract

Significant advances in the development and customization of various sophisticated technologies for structural monitoring have emerged during the last decade. Technologies for instrumentation, monitoring, load testing, nondestructive evaluation and/or characterization, three-dimensional finite element modeling, and various types of analyses have now become available at a reasonable cost. Within this framework, this chapter focuses on the issues addressed in designing a sensor network for dynamic monitoring of a historic swing bridge in Taranto (Italy).
