Integrated bridge health monitoring, evaluation and alert system using neuro-genetic hybrids

The bridge monitoring system which can analyze and predicts damage level of bridges due to earthquake loads is not yet available in Malaysia. Even though Malaysia is not an earthquake-prone country, earthquake from neighboring countries could affect the stability of the existing bridges in Malaysia....
