The report was chaired by Professor Han Wanshui, assistant dean of the Highway College. Many teachers and students of the college actively participated in and listened to the academic report.
Professor Peter Chang's report titled "Bridge Monitoring and Inspection." He explained the damage mechanism of the bridge structure in detail, and systematically introduced the latest research progress and application status of the sensor technology, and put forward the prospect of bridge monitoring and monitoring technology. Subsequently, Professor Sun Lu gave an academic report entitled "Structural Health Operation Monitoring and Intelligent Inspection System of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge." He Highlighted the BIM-based health monitoring system (BIM-SHM) used in the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. Also, He explained the contents of automatic monitoring, traffic load monitoring, manual inspection and maintenance management, comprehensive early warning and safety assessment. In the interactive session, the two professors carefully answered the questions of teachers and students in detail and put forward thought-provoking innovative ideas.
In this academic report, Prof. Peter Chang and Prof. Sun Lu conveyed the cutting-edge academic trends and innovative academic ideas in the field of bridge monitoring and intelligent inspection through simple and clear speeches, which benefited teachers and students.
