CVEN9840 – Structural Health Monitoring 2020

Dr Mehri Makki Alamdari 1

Assignment 1 (10% of Final Mark)

Literature Review

1. Identify a large-scale real-world operating structure (bridge, tower, dam, mining structure,

wind turbine, rail-way structure, aerospace/mechanical structure, …) with a deployed SHM

system. You can choose one of the bridges shown in the next slides (if you want).

2. Describe the structure and the justification behind implementation of SHM system.

3. Describe the operational evaluation process discussed in this lecture.

4. Explain the deployed SHM system in terms of measurement set up, i.e. number of sensors,

type of sensors, place of sensors, data acquisition and data transmission set up.

5. What are the sensor characteristics? (you can complete this after lecture 2)

6. Explain operational and environmental conditions of the structure.

7. Explain damage scenarios of interest and any corresponding results in terms of identification

of those damage scenarios.

The report should be minimum three A4 pages, single column, 12-point Times New Roman font.

Reference page is not counted in three pages.

Due at 5pm 2nd October 2020. (A penalty of 10% will apply for each day of late submission for assignments.)

Online submission portal will be created on Moodle.
