Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a recent bridge monitoring project, only one type of sensor was used to monitor structural deflection. Unexpectedly, this sensor reported safe readings even with visible cracks. Design a plan incorporating cross-verification using multiple sensor types. What sensors would you choose and why?
💡 Hint: Think about how different measurement methods can complement each other.
Examine a case history of a structural failure where sensor data was unreliable. Discuss what cross-verification practices could have prevented the failure and how they would have been implemented.
💡 Hint: Reflect on historical failures in civil engineering and the lessons learned.
