Background
About the Conference
There is an urgent need for further progress in structural health monitoring for both civil and maritime structures. Maximising the availa-bility and productivity of onshore and offshore infrastructure and marine vessels, whilst operating them safely and with minimal impact on the environment, is of major concern to operators. Whereas today the structural engineer conceives the single building or bridge as a stand-alone project, in future it is likely that structures will be regard-ed as nodes of a complex infrastructure network. Design specifications, real-time operation, and any decision on maintenance, upgrad-ing and reconstruction of the single node will reflect the management policy of the whole system, properly accounting for concepts such as cost, risk and sustainability and structural health monitoring will play a critical role in these transformed approaches.
HeaMES 2019 provides an ideal platform for innovative industry and practitioners, leading researchers, technology developers, and sup-ply chain partners to meet. Bringing the pioneering experts together, the conference aims to promote exchange of ideas, recent research and ways forward to application and commercialisation.
