Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a technology used in civil engineering to monitor the condition of structures such as bridges, buildings, and dams. It involves the use of sensors to measure the structural response of a structure to external loads, such as wind, earthquakes, and traffic. The data collected is then used to assess the structural integrity of the structure and identify any potential problems. SHM can also be used to detect changes in the structure over time, such as corrosion or fatigue. SHM is becoming increasingly important in civil engineering, as it allows engineers to identify potential problems before they become serious. This can help to reduce the cost of repairs and maintenance, as well as improve safety. Some companies in the SHM market include Structural Monitoring Systems, Inc., Structural Monitoring Technologies, Inc., and Structural Monitoring Solutions, Inc. Show Less Read more
