About This Course

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) helps bridge owners detect problems early, manage risks and make informed maintenance decisions—but only when systems are designed and interpreted correctly. This course provides a clear, practical understanding of sensor technologies, data acquisition, threshold definition, alarm logic and action planning. Through real examples of good and bad practices, learners explore how to install, calibrate and maintain SHM systems, interpret data trends, confirm post-event safety and integrate monitoring results into inspections and lifecycle planning. Ideal for designers, asset managers, contractors, QA/QC teams, maintenance engineers, procurement professionals and students, this course equips participants to deploy SHM systems that truly support safety and resilience.
