UCSD Structural Health Monitoring Project

NEES telepresence capabilities such as the Real-time Data Viewer (RDV), Data Turbine, and NEESdaq have been integrated directly with the NEEScentral data repository in support of real-time data streaming and automatic data archival for earthquake engineering research interests such as structural health monitoring. As part of a Collaborative ITR Research Project on Health Monitoring of Highway Bridges and Civil Infrastructure sponsored by the National Science Foundation, a sensor network has been deployed on the Voigt Bridge over Interstate 5 in San Diego, and has been seamlessly integrated with the NEESit tools. It provides an excellent example of the power of system integration.

The bridge application demonstrates the full integration of many NEESit tools and resources for structural health monitoring of bridges. Through the Real-Time Data Viewer (RDV), accelerometer data synchronized with video data is streamed wirelessly in real-time from the Voigt Bridge and the data are automatically archived in the NEEScentral data repository at 1 minute intervals (during daylight hours).
