FINGUARD

This project aims to design and develop an inno­v­a­tive moni­toring and warning system for the early detec­tion of crit­ical condi­tions at bridge-road joints. Using acoustic methods, different types of defects will be detected, clas­si­fied, and alarms trig­gered as needed. The project's goal is to develop a compact, cost-effec­tive, and reli­able struc­tural health moni­toring system that increases safety, reduces inspec­tion efforts, and enables early main­te­nance.
