Civil Structural Health Monitoring
Civil Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) involves using advanced sensors and analysis techniques to continuously assess the condition of infrastructure like bridges, buildings, and dams. It detects early signs of wear, damage, or stress, helping prevent failures and extend lifespan. By gathering real-time data on structural performance, engineers can make informed maintenance decisions, ensuring safety and reducing costs. Essentially, SHM acts as a health check-up for infrastructure, providing ongoing insights into its safety and integrity without the need for disruptive inspections.
