SHMII-8 Brisbane December 2017

ISHMII and Queensland University of Technology present SHMII-8, December 5-8, 2017 in Brisbane, Australia.  The opening reception and the ISHMII Council meeting will be held on December 5.

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.

SHMII-8 will promote and advance the field of Structural Health Monitoring in Australia and the southern hemisphere, as well as around the globe, and 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.  Visit http://shmii2017.org/ for details as they are posted.
