Wanda's Bridge (case study)

The bridge was built in 2002. The bridge is situated in Kwidzyn over Wisla River. It has a total length 352,47 m and width 15,2 m. The bridge in a eight-span arrangement. On the bridge are two-lane road and bicycle paths.

Object analysis

The case of study of Wanda Bridge is to research all points where it is possible to find some damages. Generally point of initiation of assessments is structural deterioration. Monitoring of that bridge allows to eliminate all potential damages in qualitative criteria. All measurements sensors is point mounted along bridge. Also very important is structural analysis. In this case it concerns ultimate limit state and fatigue limit state. The physical intervention of that bridge is repair or strengthening.

Object state

The bridge over Wisla River was constructed generally for roadway and pedestrian use. The most important damage for this bridge is excessive deformation and displacements. It is very important for dynamic behaviour of the bridge. It is used four performance indicator: deformation, displacement, other loads (e.g. temperature) and vibrations. The signal of sensors could monitoring dynamic response. This leads to reduction risks of the deformation.
