Installing a continuous remote monitoring
System on the jFK bridge
This month, members of the ITI Research Engineering Group built, tested, and deployed an advanced Internet-enabled structural instrumentation system on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge which carries Interstate 65 over the Ohio River at Lousiville, Kentucky. The system will record live strain and a number of other physical phenomenon in the bridge support system. Using the data collected by this system, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will be able to anaylze the effectiveness of a recent structural retrofit to the bridge. Launch Photos.
