objectives
Collaborative Research Network for Safe & Resilient Infrastructures
- diversify, broaden and expand the community of researchers in SHM in Latin American universities;
- foster peer-to-peer linkages between worldwide researchers developing these methods, and those that will benefit most from their implementation in countries with emerging economic challenges;
- increase the capacity for incorporating SHM methods into research laboratories;
- accelerate the rate at which young researchers and students can gain experience and contribute to research efforts to use these methods;
- cultivate international collaborations to share knowledge and enable access to resources; and
- provide motivation for and mechanisms to share virtual materials such as open-source data, models, techniques, and tools across laboratories and disciplinary boundaries
