Importance of standardization to promote the use of SHM systems
- Measurement and data recording systems are important parts of a holistic Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system. They are often based on modern measurement and data communication technologies for which standards (or at least guidelines) do not exist yet. A lack in standardization, however, makes the establishment of new sensing and application technologies - and thus up-to-date SHM systems - substantially difficult. Successful commercialization and wide acceptance of SHM systems needs widely accepted standards and guidelines. Standards help to design SHM systems in an optimal way. Currently, standardization gets increasing attention in civil engineering field; there are some activities e.g. in ISHMII, IEC and ISO groups to develop standards for the most important components of SHM systems. The paper gives an overview on current activities in standardization to propose sound and safe procedures for assessment of the existing structure's behavior and for estimation of its residualMeasurement and data recording systems are important parts of a holistic Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system.

The paper gives an overview on current activities in standardization to propose sound and safe procedures for assessment of the existing structure's behavior and for estimation of its residual life. Special attention is paid in this paper to newly developed standards for fiber-optic measurement systems; important aspects of such sensor systems are mentioned. The contribution is aimed at owners of structures that have to be assessed as well as at developers of sensors and monitoring systems who have to select appropriate effective sensing technologies. Using standards, both parties find recommendations how to proceed in development SHM systems to estimate the design or residual life, and how to find out the optimal maintenance strategy. The usefulness of standardized procedures is shown using the example of risk-based management of structures.…
