Astani Civil and Environmental Engineering Seminar

Speaker: Dr. Shamin Pazkad, Lehigh University

Talk Title: Mobile Sensing Platform for Structural Monitoring

Abstract:
The rapid revolution in sensing, computation, and communication
technology in the past twenty years has provided exciting opportunities for the integration of sensing systems to contribute in addressing one of the key questions of the engineering community in realizing resilient systems. It is hard to imagine a future for resilient civil structures and
infrastructure without embedded interactive sensory networks that can provide comprehensive feedback about the condition of structures, and produce information that can be used in operation, maintenance,rehabilitation and functionality of structures and infrastructure. One of the new sources of data is through mobile sensing. The application of these sensing mechanisms in structural systems is the focus of this presentation.
