Abstract
The state of Italy's bridges is alarming: more than half were built before the 1970s, making them more than 50 years old and approaching the typical lifespan of reinforced concrete structures built after the Second World War. Inadequate maintenance has led to numerous closures and collapses, with the cost of extraordinary repairs often exceeding that of demolition and reconstruction. In addition, only 60000 of Italy's 1.5 million bridges are monitored, often using outdated visual inspection methods. In this context, this thesis aims to provide an alternative solution, in the hope that tragic events such as the collapse of the Morandi Bridge (Genoa, 2018) will never happen again.
The thesis presents the design and development of a low-cost Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system for bridges
