In this article, the condition assessment of a cable-stayed bridge using remote sensing is presented. The displacement influence line (DIL) of the bridge under the live load tests is measured for a discrete number of target points. Three different remote sensing techniques including, laser scanning, terrestrial robotic total station and digital levelling are adopted for this purpose. It is demonstrated that DIL obtained by non-contact system is capable of identifying an emulated damage in an actual operating system. The contribution of the work is fourfold. First, a damage index based on the displacement profile of the bridge under the weigh-in-motion is extracted from the non-contact sensing system. Second, our study compares three different remote sensing techniques, namely, digital levelling, robotic total station and laser scanning and uses the measurements to validate the finite element model. Third, the effectiveness …
