![](/docs/wire/images/2019-02/20190204-143832696.jpg)
The courses will provide multi-disciplinary and intersectoral basic concepts in three core fields:
1. Monitoring and auscultation,
2. Structural and action models, and
3. Reliability, risk and decision analyses;
ranging from the design to the dismantling of the structures: bridges and wind turbines.
The lectures will be given by a panel of international scientific experts, researchers and professors:
- Dr Marc Thiele (BAM, Germany)
- Dr Odile Abraham (Ifsttar, France)
- Prof. Eugen Brühwiler (EPFL, Switzerland)
- Dr Ernst Niederleithinger (BAM, Germany)
- Prof. John Popovics (University of Illinois, USA)
- Dr Franziska Schmidt (Ifsttar, France)
- Prof. John Dalsgaard Sørensen (AAU, Denmark)
- Assoc. Prof. Sebastian Thöns (DTU, Denmark)
A participant who has successfully taken part in the Infrastar training school will be able to understand:
1. How to smarten the structures and its benefits.
2. How to model structural and material behaviours of civil infrastructures under loading.
3. How to develop, perform and assess structural risks and the value of structural information.
