On the Reliabity of Smart Monitored Structures

Abstract eng:
In the last years, since the idea of integrating monitoring and control systems into civil structures has been proposed, many significant advancements have been produced in sensor technology, data fusion and data interpretation algorithms. However, despite of these advancements, only a limited number of applications of on-line structural health monitoring systems has been realized in practice. The paper analyzes the situation by summarizing the characteristics of some of the applications performed on special structures and discusses the issue of creating a procedural framework that can stimulate the diffusion of SHM techniques even in more conventional structures. The leading idea of the approach is to explicitly link SHM techniques to a structural reliability measure and then to design codes.
