 Okay, so just a short presentation about the other cost action that has some quite a lot of relation with this action. We prepared this presentation generally with the share of the action, Professor Jose Matus from the University of Migno and actually I am by share of this action. So the action is, the background is on the need of a lot of infrastructure management and rehabilitation in the coming years, up to 2030 and later. We will see how our infrastructure is aging and the bridges are becoming all and most of them are becoming deficient and this is a general trend that we are seeing and that will be increasing in the coming years. So there is a decay process that are structures and bridges that are decaying and of course we have also public demands, the public ones infrastructure and bridges that work properly and all this is also in an environment where there are limited resources. So the only way to manage with all these boundaries is to have quite a good efficient management of the infrastructure and this management is mainly given by what we call the quality control, which service to the society needs a good quality and that should be a quality control of this performance. And this quality before to arrive this quality control of course we need some kind of testing visual inspection monitoring as you can see here there is already something that is related to this cost action and all this is reflected in what we call a performance indicator and performance indicator is one of the main subjects of our cost action jointly with these performance goals. So normally in order to manage the existing infrastructure and mainly also in pavements and in bridges what you use normally is a bridge management system, system that is used to store the quality control plans of the bridge network and where we can see starting from some condition of the infrastructure we have to see which is the terroration curve and when we will arrive to some limited state in order and we have to control this based on this quality control. This is very typical in a management of network. We have the condition here, the performance indicator for this condition with the time so we can have different policies, one where we can have a big deterioration and then we have to perform a very, very big rehabilitation, very big repair or there are other policies where we can have more preventive maintenance every interval of time and what we are looking at the end is to have a good, the maximum optimization of the limited resources that we have. So the reasons for the action they are quite clear. If you look at the different bridge management systems in Europe and around the world we can see that each country has a different thing. In Europe there are many countries that they are already using bridge management systems but there are no any relation between them and each one is independent of the other one so we have a unified Europe with freedom for traffic, freedom for the freight to move from one country to another but then we have different quality controls in the different countries so this makes a nonsense. It should be something with some kind of homogenization between the different countries and the different systems and this is what this action is trying to give. If you look at this more deeply to this different management systems we see that looking at different options they make quite different things, some of them they have safety assessments others they don't have it so there is a very, very big heterogeneity that is not sent in a unified Europe. So this is something that we have to try to avoid and these are the main reason for the action that there is a real need to standardize the quality assessment of the Redwood bridges at an European level. The main objective is to develop a guideline for the establishment of quality control plans in Redwood bridges. We don't look at all the infrastructure we are more focused on a special type of infrastructure that is bridges and mainly the road bridges and this guideline will focus on the bridge maintenance at two different levels. We have to look at which are the performance goals in these specific bridges and also we have to look at which are the most important performance indicators that have to be used to measure the quality of these existing infrastructure. Here there are other more specific objectives of course we have to systematize the knowledge of the different quality control plans for bridges. Our first action is to have a database to have a state-of-the-art about what is actually being done in the subject of performance and what we are looking at the end is to have a kind of guideline, a specific guideline that should try to have some criteria, some points to get this homogenization of the different performance indicator and the different quality control plans that could be used in the near future to deal with this big network all around Redwood. As in any construction we have to deliver some reports. They are very much related to the different working groups. You can see here the working groups. The first one is on performance indicators. Second one is on the performance goals regarding the quality of the bridges. The third one is the establishment of a quality control plan and of course we have also to give here some recommendations about this establishment of these quality control plans. The other two are the implementation of a case study, how to apply these recommendations that we will be developing in the other working groups and at the end to deliver some recommendations for the establishment of quality control plans. These are the different working groups with the leaders and the vice leaders of the working groups. As you can see there are names here that are also active, very active in this construction. So for sure that there is a big interaction between our two construction and for this is good that you know about what we are developing in this, in our action. Of course the organization is similar to all the constructions. We have a management committee, a core group and advisory board with people from industry and owners and we have also the observers of the management committee. In this case we try to have one observer for each continent, one person from the different continents, a total of five members and these are all the countries that are involved in this course action. We also have Montenegro and we are only missing Romania, this is the only one that we have people participating in the working groups but not in the management committee. What was difficult to get people involved from this company. So the distribution, as you can see we have totally 173 participants, distributed with management committee members, working group members, this is the most active, we have totally 44 countries involved and in the meeting that we had in January, the last one, the big one, we had 61 working group members in this that was in September last year. You can see here just for general information the different countries and which are the number of participants and people in all these countries involved. We have also non-research partners, an important group of them that I have listed here and well at the end we have to look at the interaction between these two constructions and well the best way to do it is showing the slide that I already shown before, we are interested in the quality control, for this quality control we are based in our construction 1406 on the performance goal and the performance indicator and the only way to have a good assessment of this performance indicator is by monitoring, is the subject of this action and of course visual inspection, so different kinds of monitoring, one more automatized or more visual or non-destructive testing but of course the relation is very clear and we can also see it here, I mean if our goal in construction 1406 is to have an optimization of this relation of this performance indicator, we have to know where we are in this degradation curve, if you want to start our rehabilitation work on this point or we want to do it in a preventive way and start it here, but anyway we have to know where we are and the only way to know where is our performance indicator located is by using monitoring, by looking at the actual state of the bridge and this is the only way to do it by monitoring, so it's a very clear relation, not only this but also in the memorandum of understanding of the two actions, you can see for the working group 2 of this 1402, this action here, the memorandum of understanding says to look into any type of civil engineering infrastructure, roads, bridges, dams, power plants, this is more general, it's any kind of infrastructure and define the most relevant performance indicators to be monitored by the available structural health monitoring techniques and then if we look at the memorandum of understanding of the other construction 1406, the important goal here is the definition of the performance indicators for highway bridges for the present and for the restructural conditions on the terministic and probabilistic level, so here we want to define the performance indicators for bridges and here we want to know which are the best available monitoring techniques to have a good assessment of these performance indicators, so this is it, this is our website, all the information is there, it's required in the construction, you can find information there and also you have that in the registration desk, this small information with the different working groups and the different people that is more involved on this and if you have any question I will be very happy to answer you, thank you very much. Thank you very much for the introduction of the cost action T1406, we are looking forward to interaction and there will be a workshop in two weeks time I think of the T1406 where we are introducing our cost action T1402 to T1406 and this provides then is the starting point to build up some common understanding and looking for synergies. Okay, thank you very much, we are continuing with a general session, so I'm very happy to welcome three speakers here, the first will be...
