SHM systems supporting extension of the structures’ service life

CSHM-4 brought together outstanding civil engineers, academics, designers, construction companies, product and monitoring system managers as well as responsible persons from government, road/highway, waterways and other authorities from all over the world who have an interest in improving the service life, safety and reliability of civil engineering structures. CSHM-4 provided a platform for extensive discussions of inspection and monitoring related tasks by expert groups, and the organizers encourage input into the improvement and/or optimization of sustainable solutions.

The CSHM-4 Workshop featured two keynote presentations as well as one invited presentation in each of the four sessions.

Topics of the workshop:

  • Session 1: Scientific evaluation of structures that have exceeded their design service life
  • Session 2: Monitoring strategies for evaluation of structures that have exceeded their design service life
  • Session 3: Innovative reliable inspection and monitoring systems; challenges
  • Session 4: Economic analysis of SHM as it impacts decision-making including recommendations for essential SHM techniques or strategies.
