The main objective of the action has been to facilitate sustainable societal developments through improvements of resource efficiency, productivity, robustness, reliability and safety in the design and assets management for structures and infrastructure systems by optimised Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems.
The Action has, in the perspective of sustainable societal developments, provided: a) the scientific evidence of a high value of SHM and its boundary conditions; b) an industrial and societal impact for the infrastructure design and management; c) accessibility to the scientific field for quantifying the value of SHM.
The evidence and impact of a targeted and optimal utilization of SHM constitutes a significant (a) risk reduction by robustness, reliability, and safety enhancement (societal value) and (b) expected operational expenditure reduction (industrial value) for the infrastructure system design, operation, and asset management (up to 90%).
