Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction

Transforming infrastructure through smarter information
 

Inevitably, all structures deteriorate towards a state of unserviceability and collapse. Maintenance is the art of controlling the rate at which our structures deteriorate. Proficiency in this field relies on judgement derived from regular inspection, monitoring and experience. This talk will present novel technologies and tools for the structural inspection and assessment of our existing and ageing masonry infrastructure (i.e., masonry arch bridges, historic structures etc.). It will deal from identification of defects and their diagnosis using machine learning to development of high fidelity models for their structural assessment. It will also bring together information from proven techniques and illustrate these through case studies.
