摘要

New federal regulations now mandate North American railroad bridge owners to closely assess the structural capacity oftheir bridges. Consequently, railroad companies are currently looking into developing and exploring monitoring systemsfor specific bridges, to help them improve and develop bridge safety in order to help comply with this new rule. The firstpart of this paper explains the significance of the new federal law. The new rule comes from the Federal RailroadAdministration (FRA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and it falls under the 49 Code of Federal Regulations(CFR), Parts 213 and 2371. It requires railroad track owners to know the safe capacity of their bridges and to additionallyconduct special inspections if either weather or other exceptional conditions make them necessary to ensure safe railroadbridge operations. The second part of this paper will cover past and current studies about the viability of bridge healthmonitoring, and actual structural monitoring experiences for railroad bridges. Finally, lessons learned from thesemonitoring examples, as well as recommendations for future applications, are suggested, including wireless monitoringstrategies for railroad bridges such as: campaign sensing inspections (periodic monitoring); bridge replacementobservations (short term monitoring); and permanent bridge instrumentation (long term monitoring).© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
