4 ASCE 2009 Ratings on America s Infrastructure Subject GPA Roads D - Comments Poor road conditions cost each US motorist $333 per year in repairs and operating costs Bridges Dams C D 26% the nation's 600,000 bridges rated structurally deficient or functionally obsolete 4,000 deficient dams, including 1,819 high hazard potential dams Highway and bridges (per Year) Current spending: $70.3B $78.8B needed to maintain current conditions $186B needed to improve to good conditions I-35W Bridge Collapse Minnesota, August Casualties Teton Dam Collapse Idaho, June 1976 Damage: $2 billion 4

5 Current Practice for Bridge Inspection Inspection to a bridge is conducted once every two years, as required by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Current practice is visual inspection using hammers and chisels Basket Lift Extensive Climbing Rigging Need for structural systems that can autonomously monitor their conditions 5

6 Communication Network: from Wired to Wireless Installation of wired system can take about 75% of total testing time for large structures. (Straser and Kiremidjian, 1998) $5,000 per sensor channel, half of the cost on cabling and labor. (Celebi, 2002) Over 1,000 sensors on Tsing Ma Bridge, Kap Shui Mun Bridge, and Ting Kau Bridge. 36 km of copper cable and 14 km of fiber optic cable. Over one year of installation.
