Bridge monitoring system via information technology is capable of providing more accurate knowledge of bridge\r\nperformance characteristics than traditional strategies. This paper describes not only an integrated Internet\r\nmonitoring system that consists of a stand-alone monitoring system (SMS) and a Web-based Internet monitoring\r\nsystem (IMS) for bridge maintenance but also its application to para-stressing bridge system as an intelligent structure.\r\nIMS, as a Web-based system, is capable of addressing the remote monitoring by introducing measuring information\r\nderived from SMS into the system through Internet or intranet connected by either PHS or LAN. Moreover, the key\r\nfunctions of IMS such as data management system, condition assessment, and decision making with the proposed\r\nsystem are also introduced in this paper. Another goal of this study is to establish the framework of a para-stressing\r\nbridge system which is an intelligent bridge by integrating the bridge monitoring information into the system to\r\ncontrol the bridge performance automatically.
