8、for bridge safety evaluation. Micrometers or displace- ment meters, which can obtain stable and reliable deflection re- sults, are widely employed in measuring bridge deflections di- rectly in older bridges’ maintenance,
9、 for bridge safety evaluation and for new-built bridge acceptance. Direct measurement, how- ever, requires steel wires connecting the bridge with the sensors that are supporting on the ground or a truss at some selected
10、measurement points. Such direct measurement is impractical for bridges over rivers, railways, highways, and sea and those bridges with very high clearances. Some noncontacting bridge deflection measurement methods have b
11、een invented to overcome the shortcomings of direct mea- surement method. Inertial deflection measurement method, which uses inertial vibration sensors, has high resolution and accuracy ?Xie et al. 1999?. As is well know
12、n, a deflection time history is a transient motion. Its frequency spectrum is broad, and mainfrequency components are low. Due to the limited low-frequency response ability of such an inertial seismic-transducer, the mea
13、- surement results need to be corrected. Further, this method cannot measure static deflection of a bridge span. Photoelectric bridge deflection measurement method is quasi-real time, high speed, and automatic. But the e
14、quipment is very expensive and the method easily affected by rain and fog. Moreover, the method is impractical for bridges that cannot find fixed observation areas within 500 m. A promising bridge deflection measurement
15、method, inclinom- eter method, is presented in this paper. Model QY inclinometer is an angle-measuring sensor, which is developed by the Measuring Instrument Division, Institute of Engineering Mechanics, China Earthquake
16、 Administration ?Harbin, China?. Fig. 1 shows the pic- ture of the QY inclinometer. The inclinometer consists of a ca- pacitance transducer and a passive servo system. It rotates as the bridge section rotates under loads
17、, and the inertial pendulum in the inclinometer inclines correspondingly. A capacitor can sense the pendulum inclination and generates a voltage output by an elaborately designed circuit, which is proportional to the cor
18、re- sponding angular change of the bridge section. From the voltage output, one can obtain the angular change of the bridge section. The sensitivity of the inclinometer is about 100 mV per minute of angle. The measuring
19、range of the inclinometers is 10 min of angle. The drift voltage value is within 0.2 angular second in half an hour. Thus, the angular changes at some selected positions on the bridge span can be measured, and from this,
20、 the deflection, angle, and curvature at any point on the bridge span can be calculated. In comparisons with conventional methods, the inclinometer method has the following features, which will be discussed more fully in
