Structural Health Monitoring is emerging as an important tool for
bridge engineers, owners and operators. While specialty conferences
such as SHMII-3 expose attendees to the leading edge in research and
development, this workshop is intended to provide an overview of how
elements of structural health monitoring are being used today.
Presenters have been selected from the user community and industry
to discuss experiences and provide examples of how monitoring techniques
are currently being integrated into Bridge Management and
Maintenance Practices.
Topics will range from the role of SHM in the FHWA's long-term strategy
for bridge performance monitoring in the United States to the use
of monitoring information in the management and operation of the
Confederation Bridge in Canada. Industry engineers will discuss
issues related to the successful implementation of SHM systems including
vibration-based assessment and fibre optic systems.
The course is open to those individuals seeking to learn more about
the application and benefits of SHM as it is being used today or to
those seeking to implement systems in field projects in the future.
