Abstract:

This report presents the results of a study aimed at developing a corrosion monitoring system for main cables of suspension bridges. Direct and indirect sensing technologies were reviewed, tested, and integrated in a redundant system that is able to monitor quantities like temperature, relative humidity, and corrosion rate.


This report will be of interest to highway managers; engineers involved in design, construction, and operations; and researchers.
