AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing bridge monitoring technologies, sensors are prone to failure, making it impossible to achieve long-term automatic and continuous monitoring of the local scour depth of bridge piers, and manual measurement is cumbersome and dangerous.

Method used

An adaptive pier local riverbed scour monitoring device is adopted. The box module, which is flexibly connected by springs, sinks with the riverbed. Combined with a fixed pressure level gauge and a data acquisition and processing module, it realizes automatic and continuous monitoring of the riverbed scour depth.

Benefits of technology

It enables full-cycle, uninterrupted monitoring of local riverbed scouring around bridge piers, enhancing the stability of the device in dynamic water environments and improving the automation and continuity of monitoring, while reducing the risks and costs of manual measurement.
