Abstract:

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a crucial procedure when it comes to ensuring the safety of the structures. SHM is mainly done through traditional methods, but with the evolution of immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), this is rapidly changing. The goal of this work is to explore the benefits and challenges of applying VR in the SHM of dams. For this, related work concerning applications of VR in different areas was explored and discussed. An application, named VRCabrilAnalysis, was also developed and tested. VRCabrilAnalysis is a VR application where users can move through a model of the Cabril Dam and interact with the sensors that are present there. It is possible to visualize the data measured by the sensors and analyze the damage evolution of the dam over time.
