Abstract

Structural deterioration of critical transport infrastructures (e.g., bridges) represents trillion dollars of transportation budget. Inspection and monitoring structural deterioration of bridge structures require an innovative method for an improved quality and accuracy of measurements. This paper presents and discusses the capabilities of the recent advanced interferomertic radar technique (IBIS-S) for remote monitoring structural vibations of bridges (e.g., displacement and natural frequency). Three case studies bridges in Indonesia were selected for field measurements. The research outcomes demonstrate the potential use of interferometric radar technology as an efficient way for structura..
