“Avaliação de tecnologias de monitoramento estrutural em obras de grande porte”

Abstract

Structural monitoring of large-scale works is a field that has evolved significantly over the last few decades, driven both by technological advances and by the growing demand for safe and resilient infrastructures. Historically, the ability to monitor and analyze structural integrity was limited by available technologies, often being restricted to visual inspections and basic instrumentation. However, with the advent of innovative technologies such as fiber optic sensors and drones equipped with high-resolution cameras, the field of structural monitoring has witnessed a real revolution. These technologies not only increase the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring but also allow for a faster response to potential problems, thus ensuring the safety and longevity of structures. The choice of this theme reflects the importance of understanding and applying these advanced technologies in the Brazilian context, especially in large-scale works, which are vital for the country's economic and social development.
