Abstract:Abstract: Double curved arch bridge is a kind of arch bridge structure with distinctive characteristics of the times, which emerged in the 1960s. Affected by limite of technical and economical conditions at that time, the existing double curved arch bridges generally have some problems, such as weak performance and transverse connection performance. In recent years, with the increase of highway traffic load, many of such bridges have produced some diseases endangering bridge safety. It is urgent to implement structural health monitoring of double curved arch bridges. Taking Baocheng bridge on Suzhou River as an example, this paper introduces the implementation and operation of the bridge structural health monitoring project in detail, and puts forward some suggestions on applying the positive results of Baocheng bridge structural health monitoring to the daily management and maintenance of other existing medium and small bridges on Suzhou River.
