In the transportation network, railway bridges are crucial for the transfer of both passengers and commodities. Railway bridges require continuous monitoring to observe their performance. A structural health monitoring system is one method for assessing the viability of a railway bridge structure. The functioning of railroad bridge structures has been extensively observed using wireless technology. This research aims to implement smart wireless sensors for monitoring the structural health of the railway bridge online in real-time during operation. Many sensor kinds were installed on the railway bridge, including strain gauges, accelerometers, linear variable displacement transducers, and proximity sensors. Geometric modeling and numerical simulation were performed to find critical frame locations on the railway bridge where the instrumentation sensors would be placed. In this study, MONITA® is employed for data acquisition modules. The MONITA® system consists of a combination of hardware and software that functions to retrieve, send, store, and process data. This paper describes the result of the establishment of this method to comprehend the performance of the steel railway bridge structure in real-time via the human-machine interface display dashboard. As a result, the monitoring system can appropriately be used to assess a structural railway bridge in real-time. This study may be helpful to practicing engineers and researchers in future studies of steel railway bridge evaluation. This could be a useful reference for future studies in implementing such systems as the railway bridge early warning system technique in detecting bridge damage.

“…In recent years, both civil construction and the building sector have explored the utilization of sensing technologies for SHM embedded in their structure [6,7]; in particular, focus has been given to the SHM of bridges [8,9]. However, the integration of sensors into non-load-bearing structures, such as a curtain wall façade, represents an increasing topic that needs to be further investigated.…”

“…In fact, modal parameters can be used to evaluate the safety condition of a structure and assess structural health based on modal parameters [25]. Deng et al [9] demonstrated that temperature is an important factor that affects the natural frequency of the bridge, and it is not negligible. Therefore, the temperature must be controlled in order to not consider a variation in frequency only due to temperature change as a damage indicator.…”

This paper details the comprehensive activities conducted in a laboratory setting to assess the structural health monitoring (SHM) of prefabricated building envelopes. Integrating sensors into building components like curtain wall facades poses challenges but offers opportunities for monitoring structural health, requiring compliance with regulatory standards. The research investigates the possibility of defining a kit of conventional and multi-parameter sensors integrated within the building envelope to monitor its behavior during the performance test conducted. The kit of sensors also includes Fiber Optic Sensors for effectively monitoring building envelope behavior and structural integrity. In this context, the European project InComEss (H2020-GA862597) aims to define a stand-alone solution for SHM using Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Systems (PE-EHS) for façade monitoring through FBG/FOS system. After analyzing the main façade structural stress, a series of FBGs, accelerometers, and force washers were integrated within a 1:1 scale façade prototype and tested in a laboratory following the test sequence parameters required by the curtain wall standard EN 13830. The data collected were analyzed with the aim of monitoring the façade behavior before and after the tests. The results show that the façade’s performance passed the assessing test criteria without reporting any damages. In addition, the outcomes demonstrated the effectiveness of the defined kit of multi-parameter sensors for the building envelope’s SHM.

“…Nonetheless, it remains crucial to continue conducting research and employing innovative approaches to minimize the occurrence of such accidents and their detrimental consequences. In an effort to enhance the safety and reliability of bridges and minimize the incidence of bridge collapse accidents, numerous scholars and experts have conducted comprehensive statistical investigations into the causes of bridge collapses [13][14][15]. The study of bridge collapse encompasses several disciplines, such as structural engineering, monitoring technology [16,17], transportation, and earthquake engineering, among others, and research methods employed in this area include theoretical analysis, experimental testing, numerical simulation, and case studies.…”

The construction of sustainable bridge projects has become a global mission and challenge in the 21st century. Unfortunately, there has been a rise in bridge collapse incidents due to various factors in recent years both during the construction and service phases. These incidents have resulted in significant loss of life and property damage, exacerbating the five sustainable development issues faced by bridge engineering: natural, resource, environmental, social, and economic factors. As a result, the prevention and resolution of bridge collapse accidents have garnered attention from professionals, research institutions, and government departments, making it a prominent research area. In line with the sustainable development concept of bridge engineering, this article classifies the causes of bridge collapses into two categories: those occurring during the construction phase and those happening during the service phase; the latter includes lack of inspection, maintenance and management, external natural factors, and human factors. Furthermore, this article thoroughly examines the existing national management framework, identifying the dilemmas that hinder its effectiveness in regulating bridge collapse prevention. Finally, several effective suggestions are proposed for the prevention of bridge collapse incidents. These recommendations aim to motivate governments, project owners, designers, constructors, managers, and users to actively develop and promote high-quality sustainable bridges.
