1. A bridge monitoring and safety evaluation method, comprising the steps of:

  • a) obtaining the basic data of a bridge and using the basic data to make a bridge structural model and then performing a vibration test on the bridge structural model by means of using a vibration source to pass over the bridge at a predetermined speed and recording the vibration conditions of the bridge at specific locations; and

    b) using the test result of said vibration test to correct the bridge structural model and to establish judgment criteria and to further establish the relationship between the bridge structure safety and bridge pier vibration frequency for estimating a bridge warning threshold value.
