Introduction to Program:
Post Graduate Education and Research in Engineering and Technology has become important in the context of challenges and opportunities in National development. CHRIST (Deemed to be University) subscribes to the view that a master?s degree is primarily industry-focused, though it can be used as a stepping stone for research as well. The decision of whether the degree is to be pursued for skill and knowledge up-gradation or also for building research skills should rest with the student An educational institution that does not respond to the present requirement and changes and does not lead to research will remain on the wayside of the higher education missing the opportunities for going beyond. The advances in engineering sciences and their applications has made a paradigm shift from undergraduate to postgraduate-level education in engineering and technology. The advances in engineering sciences and their applications has made a paradigm shift from undergraduate to postgraduate-level education in engineering and technology. The knowledge, skills and competency of engineers required by industry for enhancing their competitiveness in the market need to be developed from postgraduate education and research in engineering and technology An educational institution that does not respond to the present requirement and changes and does not lead to research will remain on the wayside of the higher education missing the opportunities for going beyond.

MTCE134B - STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING (2020 Batch)

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100
Credits:3

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

All structures, including critical civil infrastructure facilities like bridges and highways, deteriorate with time due to various reasons including fatigue failure caused by repetitive traffic loads, effects of environmental conditions, and extreme events such as an earthquake. This requires not just routine or critical-event based inspections (such as an earthquake), but rather a means of continuous monitoring of a structure to provide an assessment of changes as a function of time and an early warning of an unsafe condition using real-time data. Thus, the health monitoring of structures has been a hot research topic of structural engineering in recent years. Keeping this in mind, the course objectives are framed such that, students will be able to :

·         Learn the fundamentals of structural health monitoring,

·         Study the various vibration-based techniques for structural health monitoring

·         Gain knowledge of the various methods for repair of structures

Course Outcome

Studentswill be ableto

CO1:Diagnose the distress in the structure by understanding the causes and factors (L3)

CO2:Assess the healthofstructureusingstatic field methods(L3)

CO3:Assess the health of structure using dynamic field tests(L4)

CO4:Suggest repairs and rehabilitation measures of the structure(L4)

CO5:  Recommend repairs and rehabilitation measures of the structure (L4)
