During the SHMII workshop on "Implementing Structural Health Monitoring in Bridge Management and Maintenance Practice", Mr McGinn gave a fascianting presentation on the monitoring of the Confederation Bridge in New Brunswick, Canada (http://www.confederationbridge.com/).
The SHM system has been in service for 10 years and has provided information on the ageing of the bridge, confirming the design assumptions. The monitoring system has also been used to quantify the impact of extreme events on the bridge, which is the longest bridge in teh world over iced water.
