Civil Engineering Departmental Seminar - Cyberinfrastructure Framework for Smart Civil Infrastructure Monitoring

10:30am - 12:00pm
Room 2465, Academic Building, Floor 2 (Lift 25/26)

Cyberinfrastructure Framework for Smart Civil Infrastructure Monitoring

Industry 4.0 (or Smart Factory) is an emerging paradigm for automation in the manufacturing industry. The paradigm shift is caused by the rapid advancements in cyberinfrastructure technology and computational science that include:

  • Cyber Physical System where the physical systems are monitored with sensors and controlled with actuating devices
  • Internet of Things and Services that connect and facilitate communication, cooperation among sensors, devices and humans
  • Cloud Computing and Data Analytics that support information sharing and collaboration and enable on-demand diagnostic, prognostic and control functions

This presentation will discuss some of the recent technology developments and how they may be deployed for civil infrastructure monitoring. Specifically, the presentation will (1) discuss information modeling of bridge structures to enable information interoperability and to support structural modeling, engineering analyses and sensing and monitoring; (2) describe an implementation of a cyberinfrastructure structural health monitoring framework utilizing cloud computing platforms; and (3) discuss the deployment of a distributed cloud-based NoSQL database environment for efficient storage and retrieval of data. The scalable cyberinfrastructure framework is demonstrated for the monitoring of bridges along the I-275 Corridor located in the state of Michigan.
