Executive Summary :

A portable digital image correlation (DIC) and photogrammetric data acquisition system using only digital cameras for structural health monitoring, that is simple and robust enough to be used in the field without specialized training is proposed. The proposed device and procedure will enable the 2D/3D DIC as well as out of plane measurements using photogrammetry, without sacrificing accuracy and at a lower cost. This system will enable global as well as localized measurements of structural deformation and provide data for periodic maintenance as well as categorical GO-NO-GO condition classification of critical infrastructure such as railway bridges, nuclear plants, dams and aircraft.
