Strategien für Strukturmonitoring als Beitrag zur realitätsnahen Beurteilung und Überwachung von Ingenieurbauwerken – Erfahrungen aus Forschung und Praxis

Structural monitoring strategies contributing to a realistic assessment and surveillance of engineering structures – experiences from research and practice. Structural monitoring allows for capturing the actual load-bearing behavior of engineering structures and their realistic assessment and surveillance. Various technical and organizational aspects must be considered for a successful application of structural monitoring. These include the preparation and conceptual design of the monitoring, the calibration and validation of the measurements, the installation and operation of the measurement system, as well as the data evaluation and analysis. These aspects will be discussed based on experiences from research and practice, and consequential recommendations will be given. The application possibilities of structural monitoring are presented with four examples.
