Description

BACKGROUND
Technical Field

The present disclosure belongs to the field of bridge traffic facilities, and in particular, to a magnetic tag sensor and a method for manufacturing same, and a riverbed scour detection device.

Related Art

The description in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and does not necessarily constitute the prior art.

Riverbed scour is a main cause of a bridge disaster by flood. When a river passes through a substructure of a bridge, the river scours the riverbed, especially the riverbed near bridge piers. The prolonged scouring causes the riverbed to sink, and the bridge piers and abutments are gradually exposed to the water environment. The bearing capacity of the bridge piers and abutments that lose the surrounding riverbed support decreases seriously, causing collapses.

The inventor finds that the existing riverbed monitoring methods have disadvantages such as inaccurate positioning, harsh working environment requirements, and lack of universality.
