Abstract :
With advanced construction technology, bridges and tunnels become larger in scale with increasing length and depth. To improve safety of the facility and its users in stage of construction and maintenance, the need for continued measurement and monitoring rises. USN (ubiquitous sensor network) technology can enable such measurement and monitoring for road structures.This research paper identifies measurement factors in stage of construction and maintenance for bridges and tunnels, and suggests a measurement design based on the USN technology. By applying the design to a construction field, it is expected to improve safety of users through early detection of danger in structures.
