Bridge structural assessment and health monitoring: the case study of the iconic Corso Regina Margherita Bridge in Turin, Italy

Key Points

The bridge is subject to a continuous health monitoring system, using state-of-the-art technology for data collection.
Initial assessments indicate a need for ongoing structural health evaluation to maintain safety and integrity.
Monitoring incorporates innovative techniques such as remote sensing and 5G technology to enhance data transmission.
The findings will contribute to long-term strategies that ensure the bridge remains safe and functional for users.

Abstract

The Corso Regina Margherita Bridge in Turin, Italy, stands as a significant example of modern urban bridge design. Built at the beginning of the 1970s, it is an example of a modern urban road bridge with peculiar shapes, characteristics, and structural design choices. Currently, the bridge is the focus of an ongoing study by a consortium led by Nhazca S.r.l. (prime) and that includes Nplus S.r.l., S2R S.r.l., and Politecnico di Torino (scientific leader). As part of this effort, the ISABHEL (Integrated SAtellite and ground-based monitoring for Bridge HEalth Lifetime assessment) project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to implement a tailor-made permanent system for continuous static and dynamic monitoring, supplemented by remote sensing techniques and 5G communication technologies. This short contribution outlines preliminary considerations regarding the bridge's monitoring needs and potential strategies for long-term structural health assessment.
