Long-span cable-supported bridges are one of the most important links in the transportation network of a city. This is why their structural health during construction and in operation is very vital and should be monitored. Especially over the last two decades, due to safety concerns and to reduce costs, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems ha...

... total sensor quantity is 168 and consists of various sensor types, including 12 force transducers, 19 accelerometers, 15 tiltmeters, 70 stain gauges, 6 weather stations, 8 laser displacements, 33 thermocouples, and 5 GPS. Figure 2a depicts the SHM system of the First Bosphorus Bridge. In 2001, based on the research by Apaydin (2002), Apaydin and Erdik (2001), a permanent SHM system was first built on the FSM Bridge, as well as the primary monitoring studies ( Brownjohn et al., 1991, Brownjohn et al., 1992a, Brownjohn et al., 1992b). ...

... the most notable new planned sensors are on cable components, expansion joints, and anchorage locations. Figure 2 shows current and planned SHM system of the FSM Bridge. The KGM prepared a comprehensive report on the primary objectives, requirements, and monitoring parameters of the SHM system to be installed on the YSS, based on the experience gained from the First and the Second Bosphorus (the FSM) Bridges regarding the optimal design and installation of an SHM system (KGM, 2014b). ...
