Project Details
Description
The project investigated the use of carrier phase kinematic GPS to simultaneously measure the deflections of a number of receivers placed on the Humber Bridge deck and northern end support tower. During the field trials, five fully laden trucks, all pre-weighed, were transported over the bridge, back and forth in a variety of cluster combinations. Data were gathered over a number of days during normal traffic loading. Data were gathered at a rate of 5Hz.
The project was funded by the University of Nottingham and the Humber Bridge Board. Total grant value was 1,400 UK pounds.
