Welcome

Welcome to SHM Blog.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process aimed at providing accurate and in-time information concerning structural condition and performance. This is obtained by installing a network of sensors on the structure and continuously observe its behavior. The information obtained from monitoring is used to plan and design maintenance activities, increase the safety, verify hypotheses, reduce uncertainty and to widen the knowledge concerning the structure being monitored. SHM concepts can be applied to a variety of structures, including bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels, pipelines, platforms, ships, aircrafts and vehicles.

In this blog, I will cover Structural Health Monitoring Technologies and Applications.

In particular I will report on relevant conferences and publications and report on interesting research and applications in this domain.

I will also discuss applications of SHM to different types of structures and provide examples from my professional experience in this field.

The SHM Blog will also report on industry news, product announcements and other corporate news.

I welcome any suggestion on how to make this Blog more useful for you.
