Spencer, director of the Smart Structures Technology Laboratory, and Professor Gul Agha, director of the Open Systems Laboratory, began a collaborative effort between the two laboratories at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
The value of structural health information is the expected utility gain of a built environment system by information provided by structural health monitoring (SHM).The quantification of the value of structural health information is based on decision analysis adapted to built environment engineering.

Stress analysis is also used in the maintenance of such structures, and to investigate the causes of structural failures. Typically, the starting point for stress analysis are a geometrical description of the structure, the properties of the materials used for its parts, how the parts are joined, and the maximum or typical forces that are ...
