FAQ's: Your questions answered
How does Bridge Force Monitoring work?
Tension members in bridge structures are among the most critical load-carrying components and are highly susceptible to adverse long-term load effects (e.g., fatigue or an increase in life loads), environmental influences (e.g., corrosion), and their combined effects.
DYWIDAG accelerometers are specifically optimized to meet the requirements of bridge structure tension members. The Cable Force Algorithm is based on the vibration method, which is mechanically rooted in the fact that the Eigenfrequencies of a structure change when stress changes.
The DYNA Sense | Vibration monitoring system is ...
01
Accelerometers are installed on critical tension members: Sensors are fitted to stay cables, hangers, external tendons, or guy wires to continuously measure their natural vibration.
02
The system captures vibration data automatically: The sensors detect ambient vibrations caused by wind, traffic, and normal bridge operation—no external excitation is required.
03
Cable force is calculated using advanced algorithms: DYWIDAG's Cable Force Algorithm analyses the recorded vibration frequencies to determine the force within each tension member.
04
Data is transmitted to the monitoring platform: Measurements are automatically collected and sent to DYWIDAG's Infrastructure Intelligence platform for processing and visualization.
05
Trends and changes are continuously tracked: The system monitors force variations over time, helping engineers identify unusual behaviour, long-term deterioration, or the impact of changing loads and environmental conditions.
06
Automated alerts help teams take action: When predefined thresholds are exceeded, alerts are generated so engineers can investigate and prioritize maintenance before performance or safety is affected.
