Abstract: A low-cost vibration-monitoring system was developed and installed on an urban steel-plated stress-ribbon footbridge. The system continuously measures the acceleration [using 18 triaxial microelectromechanical system (MEMS) ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have enabled the construction of lightweight footbridges, whose structural design is often governed by a serviceability limit state. A suitable approach to avoid overdimensioning an FRP ...
