What is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)?
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process of continuously observing and analyzing a structure’s condition to ensure its safety and long-term performance. Using advanced sensors and monitoring technologies, SHM detects changes or degradation in structures, such as stress, strain, vibrations, temperature variations, and displacement.
By analyzing this data, engineers can identify potential issues—like cracks, fatigue, or instability—before they lead to critical failures. This proactive maintenance approach minimizes risks and extends the lifespan of infrastructure, including buildings, bridges, dams, and other critical assets.
The Role of SHM in Modern Infrastructure
The role of SHM is vital for ensuring infrastructure durability under adverse weather conditions, increased loads, and the passage of time. A well-implemented SHM system provides real-time data, enabling timely repairs and optimizing maintenance schedules. This not only prevents costly repairs but also helps avert catastrophic failures, ensuring public safety and cost efficiency.
