title = "Validating strain gauge placement methods for structural health monitoring of large cable support bridge",
abstract = "The field measurements that provide engineers with adequate useful information are required for effectively monitoring and evaluating structural performance. Strain information generally shows powerful capacity for detecting the local structural property variations. Thus strain gauges are commonly used for monitoring and testing structural performance. Placing strain gauges is the key step towards a cost-effective monitoring or testing program. This paper presents the applications of strain gauge placement optimization for a large cable supported bridge to validate the methods that are developed for maximizing the strain contributions to the structural performance assessment. The sensor placement solutions are optimized using a genetic algorithm-based optimization solver, leading to a number of features that enrich the application flexibility. A case study has been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed tool for real world applications.",
