“…The term “bridge technical condition” is used as a general measure of discrepancy between the current and designed values of a bridge's technical parameters, for example, geometry, material characteristics, and so forth. Quantitative measures describing a bridge's technical condition are usually defined on a national level 1–5,9,11,18 . Similarly, bridge operability can be defined as an overall measure of conformity between actual operational conditions and conditions required by users, for example, load capacity, clearance, maximum speed, and so forth—with quantitative measures defined on a national level.…”

“…For the majority of existing bridges, regular inspections are performed on a basic level (every year) and on an advanced level (every 4–5 years) 1–10 . This category of inspection‐based monitoring is usually applied to all existing bridge structures.…”

“…In the case of inspection‐based monitoring, a wide range of NDT and SDT methods can be used 1–4,6,9,12–16,18–29 . Classifications of the most popular NDT methods and techniques, which do not breach the integrity of the tested structures in any way, are presented in Table 3.…”

“…Contemporary bridge monitoring systems are often equipped with knowledge-based expert tools that support the processing and analysis of experimental data, as well as decisions in the management of bridge operation and maintenance. [41][42][43][44][45] Taking into account the fast development of Information Technology, we can expect that bridge health monitoring systems will in the nearest future be part of the unified Building Information Modeling (BIM) process. 46 The operation scheme of an advanced monitoring system is presented in Figure 6.…”

The paper presents a review of testing methods, a proposal for classifying the strategies, and tools applied in the monitoring of concrete bridges, the required consistent taxonomy of defects, and also the degradation mechanisms that are typical for such structures. Two main strategies of bridge monitoring are distinguished and described: inspection‐based monitoring and device‐based monitoring. The basic functional components of both types of monitoring systems are also presented. Monitoring methods, including nondestructive and semi‐destructive techniques, as well as various types of sensors based on physical, chemical, and biological technologies, are discussed and classified. The general rules of the implementation and operation of bridge monitoring systems are presented while taking into account the results of international research projects and contemporary practical experience. The considered issues are related to the fib Model Code 2020 (MC2020), which focuses on the evaluation of structural performance and which is assisted by monitoring and testing.

The paper presents a review of testing methods and a classification of strategies and tools in terms of technologies and techniques applied to the monitoring of tunnels. In particular, the topic is contextualized through a brief introduction in Chapter 1, followed by defect taxonomy and degradation mechanisms in Chapters 2 and 3, respectively. Chapters 4 and 5 are related to monitoring strategies and technologies. The former consists of purpose‐based categorization of monitoring policies, while the latter consists of classification of monitoring methods including nondestructive and semidestructive techniques as well as of classification of various types of sensors also based on the physical or chemical quantity measured. General rules of implementation and operation of tunnel monitoring systems are presented taking into account international expert knowledge as well as contemporary practical experience in Austria. Considered issues are related to the fib Model Code 2020 (MC2020) focused on evaluation of structural performance assisted by monitoring and testing. Chapter 6 presents challenges related to the monitoring implementation and operation. Chapter 7 discusses about monitoring characteristics in new tunnel, including data acquisition‐transmission and specific monitoring techniques. Chapter 8 instead treats a particular topic related to considerations related to monitoring characteristics of existing tunnel under investigation. Concluding remarks and references finally close the paper.
