CEE 1371 - BRIDGE HEALTH MONITORING

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The course introduces Honors students to the modern paradigm of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) as it applies to engineering infrastructures and systems with a specific focus on bridges. SHM refers to the implementation of 24/7 nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques to detect damage, characterize materials, or to determine non-invasively the static and dynamic response of a given structure to external load such traffic and wind. Typical SHM systems receive and elaborate data from sensors bonded or embedded to the infrastructure or material of interest to establish whether the structure is damaged or if it operates according to design specifications. SHM is a multidisciplinary field that embraces knowledge in areas that include but are not limited to sensors fabrication, signal processing, NDE, materials science, hardware design, and soft computing.
