Definition
A bridge monitoring system observes bridge movement, vibration, strain, tilt, temperature, and acoustic activity with reporting tied to asset management.
Engineering Problem Statement
Bridge owners need field data that supports inspection planning, construction monitoring, retrofit review, or long-term operations.
System Architecture
- Acceleration, strain, tilt, displacement, or AE sensors
- Weatherized DAQ
- Remote communications
- Dashboard and reports
- Inspection integration
How Products Work Together
QuakeLogic solution architectures should be specified as complete systems: sensors generate measurements, acquisition hardware synchronizes and stores data, communications move data to reviewers, software supports dashboards and reports, and documentation supports procurement, commissioning, and maintenance.
Selection Guidance
- Map sensors to members and behaviors
- Plan installation access and protection
- Document baseline and traffic/environment context

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sensor should I choose?
Choose by measured quantity, range, frequency, accuracy, installation environment, calibration needs, and data use case.
What data acquisition hardware is required?
Confirm sensor signal type, channel count, sampling rate, timing, local storage, telemetry, power, and software compatibility.
Which communication method is appropriate?
Use wired links for controlled short runs, wireless or cellular for remote sites, and local storage where communications are unavailable or not required in real time.
