why SHM?
CATASTROPHIC FAILURE :

A catastrophic failure is a
sudden and total failure from
which recovery is
impossible. Catastrophic
failures often lead to
cascading systems failure.
Building collapse in Kenya
35-w bridge collapse in America
Primary causes of catastrophic failures

 Deferred maintenance
 Material failures
 Overloading
 Temparature conditions
 Surface cracks
 Seggregation settlement
What is Structural Health
Monitoring(SHM)

• The process of implimenting a damage

detection and characterization
strategy for structures .
• Structural integrity assesment for
Buildings, offshore rigs, vehicles
aerospace structures etc.
 Goals of SHM

-Damage detection '' Is there damage?''

-Damage localization '' where is the damage?''
-Damage quantification '' How severe?''
-Damage prognosis '' future prediction ''

NON DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES IN SHM

FLAW DETECTORS

Full range of portable ultrasonic flaw

detectors provides leading-edge
capabilities for locating discontinuities
and other flaws. They offer a range of
software, measurement features, and
application-specific options for flaw
detection applications that include
locating and sizing hidden cracks, voids,
disbands, and similar discontinuities in
welds, forgings, turbines, and other
structural components.
 THICKNESS GAGES

Thickness gages include a range

of features for enhanced
performance. Ultrasonic thickness
gages can measure virtually any
material including plastics, metals,
metal composites, rubber, and
internally corroded materials.
BAR INSPECTION SYSTEMS

Bar inspection systems use

advanced technologies, such
as ultrasonic phased array,
eddy current array, and X-ray
fluorescence spectroscopy, to
inspect the full volume and
surface of round or square
bars and pipes.
TUBE INSPECTION SYSTEMS

Seamless and welded tube

inspection systems use
ultrasonic phased array and
X-ray fluorescence
spectroscopy technologies
for comprehensive
inspection.
REBOUND HAMMER

Calculates the compressive

strength of hardened
concrete.

Applications of SHM
 ADVANTAGES
• Economical

• people safety

• Extended life time

have life and
We (civil
engineers)
are here to
protect them
from various
diseases.........
