美国的Aktan教授在他的论文Condition assessment for bridge management 认为桥梁健康监测的目的在于整体工作状态评估,然后才是识别可能的DDD(defect,damage and deterioration),原文为Condition assessment should first focus on the evaluation of global health state, and then on regoinal and local DDD).所以,对当前来说,真正的监测系统的重点是否不应该放在损伤识别,而是监测整体性能(integrity)呢?
