Development of innovative methods for structural health monitoring and related improvement of structural performance and resilience

我国基础设施的很大一部分是在70年代中期建造的，迫切需要修复和/或重建。为了减少结构对操作和极端载荷的脆弱性（例如，地震），通过定期检查和结构健康监测（SHM）技术确定其结构状况和能力是很重要的。这对于做出有效的结构修复决策至关重要，并利用高性能材料（例如，高强度混凝土、纤维增强聚合物或FRP），以及新的装置和系统（例如，阻尼器和控制系统），以提高结构性能和弹性。

A large part of our infrastructure was built in mid-seventies and they are in urgent need of rehabilitation and/or reconstruction. In order to reduce the vulnerability of structures to operational and extreme loadings (e.g., earthquake), it is important to determine their structural conditions and capacity through regular inspection and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques. This is essential for making effective decisions on structural rehabilitation, and take advantage of high performing materials (e.g., high strength concrete, fiber reinforced polymer or FRP), and new devices and systems (e.g., dampers and control systems) to improve the structural performance and resilience.
