In prestressed concrete (PSC) bridges, structural damage such as concrete cracks is related to the shift of the neutral axis due to the reduction in tendon forces. As such, monitoring the tendon force is important to maintain PSC bridges and prolong its remaining life. However, measuring the tendon force of PSC bridges in service is challenging. This study proposes a data fusion-based tendon force monitoring method using acceleration and strain responses. The proposed approach is validated using a PSC bridge model in the Pukyung National University.
