 Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the training school of the cost action T14 or 2 on quantifying the value of structural health monitoring. I'm very happy that we all made it here. This is a very nice location and this is the place where we still can find some Sun in Europe. So we are coming from very different locations, so I suggest that we start with an introduction round. So all you, the students and also the lecturers are introducing there and themselves a few words about yourself, especially from where you are and what you're working on, maybe why you're interested here in the training school. Yeah, we have a very nice room. We even have sofas. So if someone gets a little tired, please use the sofa. We also have a bar. I suggested that we may switch on the coffee machine, but don't go further than the coffee machine. Okay, anyway, let's start with an introduction round. And maybe the last should be first. So I would like to start you with the introduction round. Thank you. I'm just the beginning of my path. Hello, my name is Iman Bukhachevich. I'm also from the University of Zagreb. Right now I'm in the position of a sister professor. I'm working at chair for steel structures. My research interests are connected with steel structures and reliability of steel structures. I want to learn something about major structural health story. I have an identity. I started four years ago right here in Zagreb. So I'm going to work on major parapetting. I've searched for that one time. So this is for me an introduction to the kind of work position. Hello. My name is Koelke. I come from Spain. I'm doing my PhD in Norway. And I'm working on risk-based technologies for supporting decisions as a designer and operation maintenance. Special focus on offshore wind energy and the United States. I think I'm looking at the strength of the United States. My name is Jochen Koelke. I'm from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. And then the Institute for Structure Engineering. I have a primary professor there. So my research interests is not a particular value of information modeling. It's more risk-based decision-making, structural reliability. Later, I was very much focused on code calibration, the calibration of the European design codes, for instance. So it's a little bit of a general perspective. And I'm very happy to be here. I do some work with you. Okay. I'm from Zagreb and I'm a local organizer here. Basically, I'm doing the timber structures. But I'm participating in this course of action. That's it from the beginning. And I found this interesting topic and just to apply for the timber structures. I am loving it, as Mr. said. We are voting this course of action for some time. We're working together. I'm on the Department of Bridges. I'm dealing with assessment and existing bridges. And my PhD thesis is using essay jam in the assessment. So this is very related to my work and my research. Hopefully, we'll stop. I'm a Daniel Stock. I'm a professor in the New England. And typically open. I'm working with a broader perspective on risk-based position making. I applied to civil engineering, environmental engineering applications as well. So I worked a bit on this topic of health and value of information because my PhD was already on risk-based inspection planning for steel structures. But I have also noticed in the meantime in working with other applications that this concept of value of information is very applicable to many of the digital fields. And so I hope that what we learn here today and in the next two days is not just for this specific topic of health and of use, but maybe for your whatever life. You end up finding... So my students have realized later that they could use this concept in very different fields. From finance to insurance. And water. Mobile phones. So I think that I look forward to working with audio and as I think it was already announced that there is some interaction going on in the course. So I'm also looking forward to learning more from you and your research topics. Thank you everyone. My name is Shehab Khan and I'm from India. I'm working at the IIT Bombay Monash University in such an area and a PhD scholar there. And the thrust of my PhD research is on the kind of value of structural risk monitoring. And our emphasis is a little diverse. We're trying to find... We're trying to run with the definition itself and also seeing many applications specifically for building hydroparesis. So realize we're going to be here. Okay. Good morning everyone. My name is Feroz Hussain. I am a PhD candidate at the University College of Dublin. My area of research is basically migration-based structural monitoring of clean pipelines. So currently I'm looking at developing new technology using piezoelectric energy investors to see how we can use that for structural monitoring of pipelines. So structural monitoring... I'm looking at both weeks, corrosion and deaths like the whole holistic approach. So the thing with developing new technology as such is at some point you have to quantify the value. You have to know how effective it is. And that is what it means to play because we're doing lots of experiments. Having been skilled in using of tools like this to quantify the value of the LCHM I think it would be very helpful for me at that point. Thank you very much. My name is Boudian Klerk. I'm a PhD student at TU Delft. I'm working on many or a liability assessment of flood defenses. And my PhD is mostly about how we can manage flood defenses in time and optimally combine inspections with a lot of already smart design decisions. And that's one of the things. Nice to be here. My name is Mark McOff. I'm also from Delft University and PhD student in incorporating performance information on the levees. So that's also like monitoring incorporating a liability assessment. And of course with that being the value of that information. I'm Mark McOff. I'm Mark McOff. I'm a PhD assistant at the National Institute for Business and Business in Romania. I work in the field of engineering in CIS-1 but since I have a background in civil engineering I will start the PhD next week on structural health monitoring. And I think it's really good to learn about and find a set of structural health monitoring as a basis for the PhD and for the work that I will do further. Thank you. Hello, I'm Pablo from Spain but I'm doing my PhD at the University of Liege in Belgium and my topic is risk-based maintenance for observing in cell structure so I would like to take the advantage of monitoring and inspections in order to support the decision making. Thank you. My name is Mark McOff. I'm doing my PhD in Persian. Let's have a look with Pablo. My recent topic about life extension is a much more important. So it's really important for everybody to start the PhD. It's really important. Hi everybody. My name is Friot and I'm from the University and also a PhD student there and my PhD project is mainly about probabilistic modeling for problems of subsurface growth and currently my plan focuses more about the prediction of corrosion and the scale within the tube. And I think this course is highly related to my project and it's very helpful for me. Thank you. Hello. My name is Susan Ward. I'm a PhD student and assistant at the University of Life Sciences in Lebanon. My topic is about monitoring bridges. Right now we are testing a few systems for detecting damages on bridges and we also want to evaluate the possibilities of implementation of the gain data into the evaluation approaches. And another project I will be joining in a few weeks is about mismanagement of bridges. That's why I think this course is very important. Hi. I'm Daniel Rucolo. I'm from Italy a PhD student together with Francesco Giordano. And a very such project is about the condition-based structural maintenance of our cultural heritage. So like, for instance, towers or monumental buildings are formed and are interesting both in the component development of the structure, monitoring information and both on the methodology because I also deal with the diffusion from different kind of monitoring system. I have to be here. Hi everyone. I'm Daniel Rucolo. I'm from the University and my research topic is about the oldest risk assessment topic. I've seen types such as subject to after-show visit and I'm also interested in researching session systems so that's what I'm interested in. Thank you so much. I'm from Poland. I'm a PhD student of Harvard University of Technology and my PhD thesis will be about the application of these beautiful fiber sensors for strength, density and displacement monitoring, especially within concrete structures and also I co-operate with industry and co-operate with the company which developed new sensor technology for schedule of engineering applications and so on. My name is Connor. I'm a PhD student or my PhD is in Queen's University of Alpha. My PhD is about not the new vibration based SHM system that kind of gives an indication of any change in structure and behavior. If you're on the paper side of any kind of new system it's always this kind of quantified benefit that we have. Thank you very much. Hi. I'm a PhD student at Harvard University in Emma and my PhD topic is race informed accessibility management of subsurface worlds and pressure of races and the objective is just to develop a methodology of optimizing inspection and maintenance of running and quantified certain associated with our inspection of saucy worlds so using our probabilistic Hi everyone, my name is Kashi Palli. I'm a PhD fellow at Harvard University and the topic of my research is value information in race informed accessibility management so basically I'm working in offshore structures and this the course is very much relevant to me because I'm also a value information quantified every effort that we do to maintain the asset integrity of our offshore structure and I'm looking forward to learn a lot from this course. But yeah you also have to say something. Good morning everybody Michael Tsai I'm a professor of structural engineering at the University of California in San Diego maybe I've come as far as in India I think I might win the prize for the farthest I probably more important to many of you I'm the last two years editor of the structural health monitoring journal this age so I'm the guy that says no unfortunately but I'm very excited that I've been invited to speak to you tomorrow to try to keep this date on some topics related to the value of reliability and monitoring by risk based metrics this whole workshop is one of the most important topics on why in my opinion structural health monitoring is not done everywhere already many of the technology technical parts of this field in my opinion are very mature and present to value or loss very few people this working group here in New York is excellent and starting to look at this very important project so I look forward to this occasion so we have been in our own we have been overlooking one student Hello everyone I work in a federal institute in Germany and my ph topic is about monitoring information for athletic structures like bridges and this is my second time to attend this training school last year I also came here personally it was really cool so I choose to come back again so I'm very happy to be here and meet all of you thank you thank you very much for the introduction round I will also say a few words my name is Sebastian Töns I'm working mainly at the Technical University of Denmark on the topic of risk and decision analysis analysis and yeah so my interest is that we have a good I would say workshop or training school here and I'm very happy that you came here from far distances from India but I'm most happy about Michael Todd joining from US so this is really great thank you very much for coming here and let's interact but before we start actually we have not planned time for this but anyway we will do so a few words from the local organisers I'm also very happy that you overtook a large part of the organisation this worked really smoothly here and of course we have a programme for the lectures but I think we should also think of a social programme in the next few days so and I would like you to lead this thinking process so a few words from your side welcome we want to welcome you here in Croatia in this beautiful city of Croatia but this beautiful city is there just here but if you have time of course you need to see the city believe it or not we tried to organise this workshop in the city centre but we couldn't find a hotel with appropriate conference room so that's the reason why are we here I thought it's convenient still Sebastian said unfortunately coffee is every one hour and a half here and open bar will be tomorrow for there so more technicality is dominant just one thing that Mislav forget to mention so the whole city of Trogil it's on UNESCO heritage list and you actually should see it in this couple of days hope you will have time and regarding the technicalities we will have coffee breaks every day here this is Jason's room and dinner that cost will pay is tomorrow in a restaurant nearby but we organise many bus take us there tomorrow after the professor told lecture and I just wanted to ask you is there any special diet requests regarding lunch or regarding dinner so we can arrange that in time for lunch there will be no pork any day so if you don't eat pork you are fine and for dinner I will send a list during the day where you will just sign if you are going to the dinner and they want fish or meat menu and if there are no allergies or anything then we can proceed with normal life and also if somebody is coming with his family or some accompanying person just fill it in plus one or something on this paper and that's it for now and one more thing as the whole session is being video recorded I will bring the copyright arrangement if you sign it then you agree that you are video recording then that it can be published on the cost website and any of you who have already been to post-workshops and training school already signed it but for those of you who are new you can sign it I hope you will sign it because I don't see any reason why not and one more thing for those of you who are first time in cost action there is a attendance list you need to sign it each day in order for you to get the grant and don't worry you can sign it but just as a reminder to you and that's it from us and the floor is yours we will think about the social program tonight we have some recommendations from the auto management etc for restaurants in the old city center so maybe we can during the day or during coffee break or lunch arrange so we all work together there ok thank you very much
