28.15.1. Structural Health Monitoring and Damage Assessment

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does SHM stand for?

   Hint

   Think about the purpose of monitoring structures.

2. 2.

   What technology uses laser light to create maps?

   Hint

   It's about 'light detection.'

3. 3.

   What technology is best used for mapping structural integrity after a disaster?

   • Satellite Imagery
   • LiDAR
   • Acoustic Sensors

   Hint

   It uses laser technology.

4. 4.

   True or False: Photogrammetry can only be used for visual images, not models.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about what photogrammetry can reconstruct.

5. 5.

   Compare and contrast LiDAR and photogrammetry. Under what conditions might each be preferred?

   Hint

   Consider visibility and detail needed.

6. 6.

   Imagine a scenario where a large structure is at risk post-disaster. How would you utilize SAR robots for SHM? Describe the process.

   Hint

   Think about step-by-step data collection and analysis.
