Measuring Bridge Deflection with Inclinometer Sensors
China is big country of bridge and constructed many innovative and famous bridges both at home and abroad. Usually, deflection of a bridge span under designed loads is an important parameter for bridge safety evaluation. However, it is inconvenient to obtain the bridge deflections directly.
An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope (or tilt), elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity's direction. It is also known as a tilt indicator, tilt sensor, tilt meter, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator. Clinometers measure both inclines (positive slopes, as seen by an observer looking upwards) and declines (negative slopes, as seen by an observer looking downward) using three different units of measure: degrees, percent, and topo (see Grade (slope) for details).

For bridges over rivers, railways, or highways, a direct measurement method is impractical. Designed with inclinometer, the bridge deflection measurement will become easier, and the inclinometer method offers a simple, practical and inexpensive method of measuring static and dynamic deflections of bridge spans under loads, even for bridge spans that traverse great heights. And ,the method does not need fixed observation positions as other deflection measurement methods because the inclinometers are installed on the bridge directly, which increases measurement efficiency greatly. These features indicate that as a potential method of measuring bridge deflection, inclinometers have significant engineering application value and a promising future.
