Bridge is an important part of mod transportation systems and deformation is a key index for bridge’s safety evaluation.To achieve the long span bridge curve measurement rapidly and timely and accurately locate the bridge maximum deformation,the continuous deformation measurement system (CDMS) based on inertial platform is presented and validated in this paper.Firstly,based on various bridge deformation measurement methods,the method of deformation measurement based on the fiber optic gyro (FOG) is introduced.Secondly,the basic measurement principle based on FOG is presented and the continuous curve trajectory is derived by the formula.Then the measurement accuracy is analyzed in theory and the relevant factors are presented to ensure the measurement accuracy.Finally,the deformation measurement experiments are conducted on a bridge across the Yangtze River.Experimental results show that the presented deformation measurement method is feasible,practical,and reliable;the system can accurately and quickly locate the maximum deformation and has extensive and broad application prospects.
