SMAR 2017, the fourth International Conference on Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of Civil Structures, will provide a forum for international scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and infrastructure managers to present and discuss the state-of-the-practice and recent advances in testing and monitoring technology, in structural modeling and assessment methods, and in the application of advanced material for structural rehabilitation. The conference will provide a platform for exploring the potential of international cooperation.
SMAR 2017, the fourth International Conference, is organized by Empa and ITÜ and will be sponsored jointly by the International Society for Structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure (ISHMII), the International Institute of FRP in Construction (IIFC) and Rilem.
