Improving Structural Stability: Non-Destructive Evaluation in Building Maintenance

Abstract

Amidst the rapid advancement of technology, there is a growing demand for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and the application of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). These methodologies are becoming indispensable for evaluating and preserving the integrity of structures. This project delves into the synergistic relationship between NDT and SHM, where innovation and precision converge to address the critical need for assessing, safeguarding, and prolonging the lifespan of essential infrastructure. The primary objective is to explore and implement various NDT techniques within the framework of SHM, focusing on an industrial facility and a Civil hospital. By applying NDT in real-world scenarios, this project enhances sustainability and enables structural enhancements where needed. Overall, this research paper provides valuable insights for professionals and stakeholders involved in preserving the structural integrity of built environments, including engineers, researchers, and other stakeholders invested in ensuring the stability and safety of constructed structures.
