Computational modeling of vehicle–bridge interaction with experimental validation under moving loads for structural health monitoring

Researchers have developed new methods for structural health monitoring by computationally modeling the interaction between vehicles and bridges. This modeling was validated through experiments conducted under moving load conditions. The study focused on understanding how the dynamic forces exerted by vehicles affect bridge structures over time. These advancements aim to improve the assessment of bridge integrity and performance.

This research is important for ensuring the safety and longevity of critical transportation infrastructure by enabling more accurate monitoring of bridge conditions.
