Season 2, Episode 2: Structural Health Monitoring with Dr. Bridge

Welcome to Season 2 of Civil Conversations! 

Today, we zoom into an exciting and growing discipline within structural engineering – Structural Health Monitoring, or SHM. SHM involves the implementation of data collection systems on engineering structures to collect dynamic response measurements. This information can then be used by engineers to model the structure, as well as analyze and diagnosis problems. 

We are joined by Dr. Jennifer Bridge, a wonderful professor in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering and the director of Small Infrastructure Management Laboratory. Dr. Bridge has worked on an exciting and diverse array of SHM projects, and has a wealth of knowledge on current research and trends in the field. On this episode, we learn the basics of structural health monitoring and then dive into the details of this more interdisciplinary side of structural engineering.
