Structural Health Monitoring Systems for Smart Heritage and Infrastructures in Spain

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mechatronics for Cultural Heritage and Civil Engineering

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering ((ISCA,volume 92))

Abstract

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and robotics is currently demonstrating its potential impact on different fields of application. With regard to cultural heritage, and architectural and engineering heritage in particular, these new technologies are changing the possibilities for structural capacity assessment and health monitoring (SHM). The objective of smart heritage can be achieved thanks to properly designed SHM systems, which when connected to an automated diagnostic system can even self-evaluate retrofitting needs. This chapter includes a brief summary of the SHM technologies applied for cultural heritage management in Spain during the early 2000s.
