IIT Mandi Develops Real-Time Monitoring Method for Ageing Bridges Using Traffic Data
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi have unveiled a novel method for monitoring the health of ageing bridges in real time, leveraging traffic data to enhance structural safety. This innovative approach addresses the challenges posed by repeated cyclic loads such as traffic, wind, and environmental conditions, which can weaken bridge integrity over time and lead to potential failures. The method employs digital modelling to identify weak spots on bridges, al
