Fuzzy Based Bridge Structural Health Rating of Existing Bridges using Accelerometer Sensors: Case of Zamora Bridge
Mapúa University, Muralla St., Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
This study presents the development of a fuzzy-based procedure for condition assessment and bridge rating in structural health monitoring of existing bridges. A sample bridge, Zamora Bridge, was assessed to determine its structural health through fuzzy-based analysis utilizing accelerometer sensors installed in the bridge. Sensors were installed on superstructure and substructure components to record the three-dimensional accelerations of each element. Accelerations were then compared to the designed acceleration of the member to obtain structural ratings. Using fuzzy logic, the resultant rating set for the bridge has been evaluated based on specific ratings and importance factor for elements of the bridge. The final rating for the bridge can be evaluated by converting the collective fuzzy rating that defines the membership value. Comparison between the data of fuzzy based analysis for structural health assessment and visual bridge inspection for condition rating verified the reliability of the findings of this study.
