Course Objectives Structural Health Monitoring examines the use of low-cost, long term monitoring\nsystems to keep civil infrastructure under constant surveillance, ensuring structural integrity.Moreover, the tools and skills the students will learn in this class can be implemented to\ndevelop sustainable maintenance and rehabilitation schemes and programs.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain fundamentals of history of Structural Health Monitoring.
  • Describe a systematic approach to Structural Health Monitoring process.
  • Discuss nondestructive test techniques relevant to Structural Health Monitoring.
  • Apply the theory of of Structural Dynamics.
  • Analyze experimental modal analysis.
Course Description Structural Health Monitoring covers the concepts of rapid after disaster assessment of civil infrastructure. The tools and skills incorporated within the curriculum of this class provide quantitative means to assess the structural integrity loss a system undergoes after natural disasters and other hazardous events.
