Abstract
Sensors for infrastructure monitoring and evaluation utilizes different types of sensors which are placed at strategic locations to monitor the behavior of structures and provides valuable data such as strain, temperature, and vibration. A sensor network helps in identifying structural problems at early stages, prolonging the life of these structures, and improving public safety. This paper will discuss the experimental evaluation of two types of sensors commonly used in bridge applications.
