Abstract

Bridges are currently at a stage of rapid development, and the community has placed a high value on the operational safety of bridges. Thus, it has become a hot problem that is challenging to handle in this sector how to assure the safe functioning of long-span bridges. Bridges will be impacted by outside forces including traffic, the environment, and rivers over the course of their service life, which can last for decades or even a century. Internal influences on bridges, such as material ageing, fatigue, and other variables, will also have an impact. Damage and serious accidents are unavoidable results of these conditions.One of the current issues facing the structural engineering community due to the maturation of smart technology is the creation of IOT SHM systems that could offer a potential answer for quick, precise, and affordable SHM systems. Moreover, services that are available everywhere and powerful processing of sensing data streams will be possible because to the integration of SHM, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things. The SHM data may be stored and used intelligently for smart monitoring and actuation with smart devices thanks to cloud platforms. We are employing IOT-based structural health monitoring of bridges to prevent any financial and human costs. Yet, there is no actual SHM implementation in the IOT. This study suggests a whole IOT-based real-time SHM platform.
