Despite reinforced concrete bridges being highly durable, they remain susceptible to natural ageing and disasters, potentially impairing their performance over time. This drives an increase in maintenance, rehabilitation, and repair expenditure, accounting for half of the construction sector spending in developed nations. Structural and durability monitoring becomes crucial to establish long-term maintenance schedules and ensure safety throughout their lifespan. Typically, maintenance schemes rely on sensor systems that periodically or continuously collect information, utilizing various sensors such as electrical, optical, chemical, and sound sensors. Sensor reliability is subject to environmental factors, its own durability and potential power outages, which can temporarily or permanently interrupt data acquisition making difficult or even impossible damage detection. This study focuses on analyzing the evolution of …
