“…By the time the defect has been identified it may have already compromised the integrity of the structure and involve costly remedial work. A disturbing anecdote is that in the United States most major cracking problems in bridges in recent years have been found by the public, not the bridge inspector 9 .…”

Significant research efforts are presently spent to the problems of health monitoring and damage detection. This paper approaches the subject from the point of view of the organisation of the research. More specifically, it reviews the main international research programs and activities, which are devoted to this topic. Related to this are the questions of the user needs and the deployment of the research results: assuming valid research results are obtained, in what form should these results be deployed to address the user needs. While the focus is on EU-cooperative research, the main US and Far-East activities are briefly discussed as well.

“…Often, such a period is enough for defects to grow and to cause major problems. As a disturbing consequence, most cracking problems in highway bridges in the last few years have been found by the public [3]. Ineffective inspection may lead to bridge collapses.…”
