Abstract
This chapter reviews the concept of utilizing a novel sensor technology for monitoring bridges. The technology is based on the principle of magnetostriction and work in this area is carried out under a National Science Foundation International Cooperation grant,involving researchers from both the United States and the Slovak Republic. The magneto-elastic method of force measurement can be carried out even when the cables and strands are enclosed in sheathing and ducts, which are grouted. The technique is relatively inexpensive and is one of the most commercially viable non-destructive evaluation tools available for bridge monitoring. The magneto-elastic method provides an innovative way of measuring forces, stresses, and corrosion in both cables and strands.
