A managerial approach in terms of structural health monitoring, in the context of component analysis covered by the science of terrestrial measurements

As is known, Structural Health Monitoring(SHM) is an extremely complex and relatively expensive activity, and the current offer of tools, methods and technologies is extremely varied, which can lead to a virtually infinite number of structural monitoring systems that can be customized for each case. Thus, a strict organization of the structural monitoring activity is imperative to best adapt the SHM solution to the monitored case. We present in the paper, both the components, aspects, the main activities covered, the SHM axioms, generally the important issues that must be known and considered when choosing the strategy to adapt a SHM solution for a given case and the proper management of the SHM activity for the results to reflect reality and meet the requests of beneficiaries. We must not ignore the designers who will have the opportunity to check the chosen design solutions and the in situ behavior of the monitored objective. In parallel, the authors analyzes the evolution "Tracking the behavior over time of constructions" from operating in the static regime to the dynamic, integrated into the comprehensive concept of "Structural Health Monitoring". The authors identifies the role of the Science of Terrestrial Measurements in SHM and the components covered.
