Abstract
Intelligent digital methods for extending the service life of the Nibelungen Bridge. To extend the service life of structures while maintaining their structural safety and functionality, effective monitoring and maintenance concepts are necessary. Within the scope of the Priority Program 2388 “Hundred Plus – Extending the Service Life of Complex Structures through Intelligent Digitalization” (SPP 100+), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), interdisciplinary methods including digital models, digital linkages, and condition indicators, have been investigated and validated on the Nibelungen Bridge in Worms. First, two structural health monitoring systems and their combination are described in detail, with particular focus on the fusion of accelerometer data. Subsequently, innovative data-driven simulation methods are presented to determine the complete temperature field of the bridge superstructure. In addition, various numerical solutions covering different element types and levels of detail are introduced. Finally, methods for managing knowledge about the bridge's condition are presented. The methods were developed relatively independently of each other and validated at the NBW. In the next step, all methods will be integrated to support the maintenance of the NBW.
