1 Real-Time Performance Monitoring of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge Yarnold, Moon, Aktan, Glisic IABMAS 2012

2 TACONY PALMYRA LIVE INFRASTRUCTURE FIELD LABORATORY: TACONY PALMYRA LIVE INFRASTRUCTURE FIELD LABORATORY: Federal State Local Governments, Policy, Regulation, Community, History, Culture, Economy, Brownfields, Delaware River, River Navigation, Tidal Wetland, Urban Estuary, Nature Park, Wildlife, Highways, Bascule Bridge, Bridge Commission, Bridge Staff, Consultants, Contractors

3 Tacony-Palmyra Bridge Two-leaf rolling-lift-system bascule with shear lock Between Tacony (PA) and Palmyra (NJ), over Delaware River 1929 by Ralph Modjeski 1,115m (3659ft) =168m (550ft) steel tied arch span + 2 x 224m (735ft) half through truss 3-span continuous units, + 79m (260ft) Scherzer, two-leaf rolling-lift-system bascule with shear lock Owned and operated by the Burlington County Bridge Commission (BCBC)

4 Objectives of Monitoring Owners strategy is to indefinitely preserve the historic bridge since replacement or even renewal is not politically feasible! Long-term goal is a real-time multi-scale multi-modal SCADA system: Bascule operations (safe opening and closing of the bascule) Structural performance (levels of strain, deformation, forces, etc.) Traffic safety (weather conditions, icing of the road, congestion, etc.) Security and Enforcement (weight, size, speed, toll, site security) Inspections and Maintenance Management (inspection planning, directions) Education reform Project-Based Learning at Live Infrastructure Labs The SCADA system includes: Dynamic and static strain sensors (resistive and vibrating wire strain gauges) Displacement transducers, tilt-meters, accelerometers Weather station, structural temperature sensors, air and water quality Courtesy sensors of Video surveillance Drexel University The software package for data acquisition/management is a critical element

6 Bascule Instrumentation - Preliminary Preliminary Instrumentation: 22 electrical resistance strain gages 4 vibrating wire strain gages 2 Tilt Sensors (with temperature) Weather Station Truss B Upper Chord Strain Gages Truss AL Lower Chord Strain Gages (EF) DAQ Setup using National Instruments Compact RIO Tiltmeter Truss B Lower Chord Strain Gages (EF) 6

8 Challenges Integration of static and dynamic multi-parameter data resulting from structural and environmental monitoring and their synchronization with camera images lead to several important tquestions: 1) How live data could be visualized in a clear, concise, yet comprehensive manner? 2) How can we access and visualize historic data? 3) How various stakeholders and end users influence visualization and accessibility to the data?

9 Visualization software package System Control (configuration of system, alarming, self monitoring, meta data) Data Management (easy access and meaningful visualization of fht heterogeneous data dt and alarms) Live Portal Software (visualization of live data) Playback Software (visualization of historic data)

10 Main system software

11 Live portal: panoramic camera page

12 Live portal: bridge graphic view / live

13 Live portal: bridge graphic view / trend

14 Live portal: bascule/engineer view

15 Playback software: static tab

16 Playback software: dynamic tab

17 Conclusions A properly designed data management scheme is critical for the success of Operational and Structural Performance and Health Monitoring Handling different inputs from various sensors (e.g. strain, temperature, acceleration, corrosion indicators, weather parameters, photographs or video streams) Easy real time and on-demand access to data and visualization in various formats Interpretation and analysis support The software package should be user friendly and intuitive Poor data management frequently leads to failure of monitoring
