Abstract

The study presents the vibration-based SHM system for the Dębica railway bridge located in Poland. The railway bridge owner was concerned about the excessive and self-excited vibrations of the hangers, the vibration measurement of 8 hangers per span in a total of two spans being monitored. The dynamic responses in both the transverse and longitudinal directions for each hanger under different load events over a nine-month period were recorded and introduced in this paper. The tension force and stress on each hanger are estimated through the natural frequency of the experimental vibration analysis. The proposed approaches could be used to develop a smart alarm system integrated into a vibration-based data-driven SHM system for heavy railway bridges.
