General Information
The purpose of this training event (TE) is to offer the participants the opportunity to attend a series of key lectures given by experts in the field of Structural Health Monitoring. The course will focus on using optical fibre sensing to measure the performance of civil engineering infrastructure in practice. The general principles of structural analysis, modelling techniques and the relationship between stress, strain and displacement will be introduced. Fibre optic sensing techniques, field operations and data processing methods will be discussed. Participants can also have access to a series of real case studies conducted by the Cambridge CSIC researchers in the field for various pieces of infrastructure. The courses will be complemented by practical demonstrations of structural experiments and data processing.
Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance, which can be changed to ECTS credits.
The price of the training event is 260 Euros. This registration fee includes lunches, coffee breaks, a guided Cambridge tour (Cambridge college visiting and punting) and a formal dinner in one of the oldest colleges in Cambridge.
