Summer Course on Structural Health Monitoring 2025 (3rd Edition)

5 ECTS | 2025, in person (30h) | 15h remotely | MSc and PhD Students

We are happy to announce that we will be back next year for the 3rd edition, and with a new package of upgrades! Stay tuned!

The main goal of this summer course is to introduce the concept of structural health monitoring (SHM) applied to bridges and special civil structures to MSc and PhD students from several European institutions.

The SHM is posed in the context of a statistical pattern recognition paradigm, rooted in the artificial intelligence field, where machine learning algorithms are essential to perform damage identification, by learning (or modeling) the structural behavior from the experience (past data), following the same principle of the human brain. In order to balance the general concept and the applicability of SHM, this course has been designed to allow students to gain a basic knowledge of SHM with hands-on experiences to demonstrate how SHM can be used for assessing the condition of structural systems, along with the lectures to give some insight into the theory and application examples.
