3 THE SMART ROCK MONITORING CONCEPT Two Application Scenarios Scour Depth Deposits at a bridge pier or abutment are washed away to form a scour hole with unknown location and depth. Countermeasure Effectiveness Move of rocks leads to the loss of a rip-rap countermeasure for bridge scour protection.

11 LOCALIZATION AND EFFECTIVENESS Experimental Validation Procedure Before a smart rock is deployed, the ambient magnetic field of the Earth and environmental effects was evaluated at each measurement point either by a scalar magnetometer and an orientation device or by a threecomponent magnetometer. After the smart rock is deployed, the total magnetic field of the magnet and the ambient field was measured with the same magnetometer at various points around the smart rock. The coordinates of measurement points were surveyed by a total station a survey instrument. The intensity and coordinate measurements at six or more stations allowed the determination of the smart rock s location. 11

50 CONCLUDING REMARKS The APUS smart rocks have been deployed at three sites of the Waddell Creek Bridge, CA, the Roubidoux Creek Bridge, MO, and the Gasconade River Bridge, MO. The AOS, APSS, and APUS smart rock localization algorithms without and with knowing the magnet polarization in a priori have been validated at the three sites, all giving satisfactory results (<< 0.5 m). The test crane can be set on a trailer and moved as needed in application. 50
