A wireless sensor network (WSN) for bridge health monitoring (BHM) is designed, implemented, deployed and tested on a road viaduct. The system formed a low-power, consuming energy balance and a multi-hop muting for wireless sensor networks, using energy balance clustering muting algorithm, time synchronization algorithm and energy management algorithms. The system tested in a road viaduct, using accelerometers to collect the real-time ambient vibrations of the bridge. In the application, the sensor nodes were arranged in the bridge, setting up a multiple sub-cluster multi-hop routing network architecture. Eventually,the natural frequency of bridge was got from the acceleration data through FFT transform. The test result show that the system is portable and reliable.
