Abstract

Ground based interferometric radar (GBIR) is a revolutionary advanced measurement technique for geoscience and engineering geodesy. It is powerful for temporally and spatially dense measurements of highly dynamic target with sub-millimetric accuracy, especially in man-made structures, e.g. buildings, towers, dams and bridges. In this case study, we use a real aperture radar system, the Gamma Portable Radar Interferometer (GPRI-II), to perform near-real-time deformation monitoring of the deck (back side) of a cable-stayed bridge. As a test site, the Ting Kau Bridge at Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, was continuously measured from two modes of observation, rotated azimuth scanning (RAS) and fixed azimuth scanning (FAS). The results reveal the wind-driven and vehicle-driven non-uniform oscillation of the bridge. The presented works demonstrate the ability of GPRI-II in bridge deformation or oscillation monitoring, which provide a new way for structural health monitoring of bridge.
