Building and maintaining civil infrastructure such as bridges and dams is a major challenge to society. Recent failures of the Bow River bridge in Calgary and the Laval bridge in Montreal have underscored the risk of vulnerable infrastructure to the society. In both cases, periodic manual inspections failed to reveal inherent vulnerabilities in these structures. The proposed research will investigate new technologies directed at developing automated warning systems to predict incipient failures and control devices to protect structures from violent events. This research will include theoretical development and experimental studies in the laboratory and field, leading to more cost-effective protection methods to vulnerable infrastructure and a reduction in risk to the society as a whole.

建立和维护诸如桥梁和大坝之类的民用基础设施是社会的主要挑战。卡尔加里的弓河桥和蒙特利尔的拉瓦尔桥的最新故障突显了对社会脆弱的基础设施的风险。在这两种情况下，定期手动检查都无法揭示这些结构中的固有漏洞。拟议的研究将调查针对开发自动警告系统的新技术，以预测初期故障和控制设备以保护结构免受暴力事件的影响。这项研究将包括实验室和领域的理论发展和实验研究，从而为脆弱的基础设施提供更具成本效益的保护方法，并减少整个社会的风险。
