| Summary: | Short and medium-span bridges account for more than 90% of the bridges in China, and it is not suitable to use conventional health monitoring technology to monitor them. Based on an analysis of the proportion of live load, displacement under load, the action time of live load and other factors affecting short and medium-span bridges, this paper determines a feasible technical solution using mid-span deflection to monitor bridges with requirements including measuring range, resolution and accuracy. A set of wireless laser displacement monitoring technologies and equipment is studied by using the phase laser ranging method and the principle of pulsed laser ranging, and the reliability of the data is verified by experimental tests. Using both practical application cases and economic analysis, this paper proves that the technology has significant application advantages for short and medium-span bridges.
