Abstract

The Structural Health Monitoring System is part of tool and method for bridge operation and maintenance to make sure that the bridge is in good condition. Deflection is one of the main parameters to be measured and various methods has been introduced to measure deflection. Accuracy and economically are two main aspects when selecting the method for determine the real time deflection. This study presents a method of determining the maximum deflection of simple span continuous bridge using strain data obtained from a strain gauge sensor for simple span steel box girder bridge. Initial data were obtained from FEM simulations under various load conditions to obtain the maximum deflection value and the strain value. Linear regression and quadratic regression were carried out to obtain the relationship between the strains data and the maximum deflection. The accuracy of the maximum deflection value is then compared with the results of the analysis using FEM. It was found that the accuracy is about 91.16 % for quadratic regression and 9.07 for linear regression 90.93 %.
