Research progress of condition evaluation for large span cable supported bridges
Reasonable condition evaluation for large span cable supported bridges could reveal the actual condition of the bridges
make rational maintenance and repair strategy
and ensure the operational and structural safety. Firstly
the evaluation methods were reviewed based on the standards
specifications and system engineering
respectively. Secondly
the development of bridge management system and long monitoring system
and the status of evaluation information sources were analyzed and discussed. Finally
the chances and challenges were proposed faced by large span cable supported bridge condition evaluation
and the multi-source information fusion functional and structural models were presented. Reviews analysis shows that the evaluation standard for large span cable supported bridges is imminent. Visual inspection and long term monitoring
due to their disadvantages
cannot support bridge condition evaluation respectively. Information fusion induced to bridge condition evaluation is expected to increase the credibility of bridge condition evaluation results. Standardized evaluation method for cable supported bridge group is one of future development directions.
