The Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of road traffic bridges and heritage buildings and the reliability assessment of the design of structural members and systems have both received a great deal of attention by researchers in Australia and worldwide, with many methods of monitoring and analysis now being developed.

The objectives of ISHMII’s SHMII-8 conference are to promote and advance the field of Structural Health Monitoring in Australia and the southern hemisphere, as well as throughout the world, specifically to showcase achievements, exchange ideas and disseminate knowledge nationally and internationally, and to raise general community awareness on the need for, and value of SHM research and application.

With a theme of Structural Health Monitoring in Real-world Application, SHMII-8 will feature a strong program of keynote lectures, invited lectures, technical visit and touring activities.

The four-day program will include keynote lectures, invited lectures,  technical visit and touring activities. English is the official language of the conference.  The opening reception will be held on 5 December.
