Structural vibration and health monitoring system in Iceland

About the research

The infrastructure is a monitoring system for vibrations of structures.

The purpose is to gather information on the dynamic behavior and structural characteristics of Icelandic buildings and provide an improved understanding of the dynamic parameters required for design of new buildings.

The monitoring system is comprised of a set of sensors (accelerometers) and data acquisition units. The acquisition units can receive and record data simultaneously from multiple channels.
