Abstract:

In order to reduce structural damages of mountain highway tunnels during operation, to improve operation management and reduce maintenance costs, a structural health monitoring system for the tunnel was developed by utilizing SHM and automatic monitoring technology. Then, overall system framework, core subsystems and various functions were established by adopting C series programming language, C/S structure and 4-layer architecture system. Finally, experiments were conducted in Chang'an tunnel of Huaiyang expressway to verify applicability and effectiveness of the system. The results show that the proposed system can collect, organize and store monitoring data of various types of sensors in real time, analyze and process data (such as curve analysis, over-limit monitoring and early warning and forecasting, etc.), correlate measurement points with CAD drawings, and comprehensively evaluate tunnel structural health and generate reports automatically.

Key words: mountain highway tunnel, structural health monitoring (SHM), automated monitoring, analytical processing, comprehensive evaluation
