Sommario/riassunto

In China, the amount of deteriorating bridges is increasing gradually, and the costs of maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of these bridges far exceed available budgets. Internationally, above issue also is paid more attention. To alleviate this issue, the bridge engineering profession continues to take positive steps towards developing more comprehensive bridge monitoring and management systems. Therefore, it is significant to combine some good works that have been done in this field, which is the original objective to introduce the recent research results in the fields of bridge health monitori
