Structural health monitoring methodology for seismic evaluation of structures

地震等自然灾害会严重影响各国的社会经济福祉，在更严重的情况下，还会影响我们的基本生存能力。最近的地震表明，必须制定快速、有力和协调的行动计划，以增加社会的生存机会。通过对关键资产实施真实的实时监控，可以大大减少灾难造成的损害和对社会的影响。桥梁不仅是该省交通网络的关键环节，也是社区之间电力、天然气和通信部件传输的重要基础设施。这就是为什么不仅要提供桥梁结构的物理完整性和老化状态的关键信息，而且还要提供使用桥梁作为社区之间传递这些服务的方式的电气，天然气和通信组件的关键信息。本研究提案旨在开发和测试关键基础设施真实的实时监测方法。 该项目的重点是结构健康监测（SHM）系统，该系统将成为不列颠哥伦比亚省城市地区桥梁先进传感器网络的一部分。

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, can dramatically impact the socio-economic well-being of countries, and in a more serious context, our basic survivability. Recent earthquakes have shown the importance of a fast, dynamic and coordinated action plans to increase the chances of survivability for society. The extent of the damage and impact on society resulting from a catastrophe can be significantly minimized by the implementation of real time monitoring of critical assets. Bridges are not only a critical link of the transportation network in the province, but also serve as important infrastructure for the transmission of electricity, gas and communication components between communities. This is why it is important to provide key information not only on the physical integrity and state of aging of a bridge structure, but also on the electrical, gas, and communication components that use the bridge as way to convey these services between communities. This research proposal is for the development and testing a methodology for real time monitoring of critical infrastructure. The focus of this project will be on a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system that will be part of an advanced network of sensors for bridges in urban areas of British Columbia.
