Monitoreo de Salud Estructural

Abstract

Non-destructive methods for damage detection in civil structures have recently gained the attention of researchers throughout the world due to the advances in instrumentation technology and digital signal processing. Structural Health Monitoring techniques allows the presence, location and magnitude of damage to be detected due to changes in the static and dynamic characteristics of the structure. These techniques can be implemented remotely and in real-time, which can significantly reduce inspection costs and provide an instantaneous alert signal due to damage in the structure. The School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics of the Universidad del Valle has a Structural Health Monitoring research project that includes real-time monitoring of the Hormiguero bridge and an agreement with the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira for joint monitoring of the Pereira-Dos Quebradas Viaduct.
