Abstract

This paper presents an automated structural health monitoring (SHM)

system based on wireless sensor network for real-time condition

assessment of civil infrastructures. The system consists of a new

wireless accelerometer sensor and MATLAB-based data management

and data analysis toolboxes. In the first part, the process of the wireless

sensor development is presented, which was especially designed to

meet the requirements of low-amplitude vibration measurements and

sudden event monitoring of civil infrastructures. Then, the multipurpose

MATLAB-based toolbox is introduced, which is able to manage and

synchronize time-series data, process the monitoring data, evaluate

modal parameters using time and frequency domain System

Identification (SI) techniques, compare the modal parameters from

various SI methods, and identify any abnormalities as structural

damage. In order to validate the performance of the wireless sensor

nodes in terms of sensitivity, time synchronization and event-triggered

sampling mode, a series of shaking table tests was conducted on a steel

bridge model at Structures Laboratory, Auckland University of

Technology. Also, the system was installed on the Newmarket Viaduct to

evaluate the performance of the monitoring system in an outdoor

environment. The laboratory test results showed that the developed

wireless sensor system is able to provide promising performance for

low-to-high amplitude vibration measurements. In addition, the dynamic

characteristics of the full-scale bridge measured using the vibration data

were consistent in comparison to the previous ambient vibration tests

conducted on the full-scale structure, showing the reliability of the

system in terms of data recording and data analysis for an accurate SHM

system.
