Abstract
Structural Health Monitoring is an extremely complex and relatively expensive activity, and the current offer of tools, methods and technologies is varied, which can lead to a virtually high number of structural monitoring systems that can be customized for each case. In time, the monitoring of bridges became the engine for the development of SHM tools, methods and technologies, or manager monitoring systems. The case study, in continuous quasi-static condition, was performed on Incheon Grand Bridge South Korea. Tracking the behaviour of an objective under the influence of sunshine is performed by VCE Vienna Consulting Engineers ZT GmbH. This paper presents the effect of sunshine on a steel structural element, the first lamella front North line, by comparing data pairs that reflect the cause: steel temperature and the effect: the movement of a sensor mounted on the structural element. The analysis was performed using several software dedicated to mathematical modelling, trying to establish different mathematical models that can be tested and validated.
