Condition Assessment and Health Monitoring of Civil Infrastructures
About this course
On this course, you'll be introduced to current methods of structural condition assessment.
You’ll learn about the advances and developments in sensing technologies, technical aspects of the structural health monitoring and structural identification.
Course dates: Future dates to be confirmed, email us to join our waitlist.
This course addresses the theories which help resolve problems and challenges when assessing and monitoring civil infrastructure.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
demonstrate your knowledge of advances in sensing technologies and data management tools
understand the fundamentals of structural identification
apply skills in information technology to generate numerical replicas of physical structures
engage with algorithmic signal processing approaches and interpret measurements.
A CPD certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the course.
Successful completion can also contribute 15 credits towards a postgraduate award.
What you’ll study
This course will include:
- human-structure interactions
