VIBEs LabWe are an academic research lab at the Virginia Tech Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. We focus on making the built environment smarter by collecting and analyzing sensor data in innovative ways. Our goal is to help stakeholders make better decisions about the design, maintenance, and operation of civil infrastructure.
We build on fundamental principles in structural dynamics to understand how civil structures respond to human-induced and environmental loads.
We study processing methods for transforming abstract sensor data into useful information in a variety of applications.
We deploy monitoring systems to understand how the condition and use of the built environment evolves over time.
Basic methods for analyzing loads and deflections of determinate and indeterminate structures. (Fall Semester)
Analysis of multiple degree-of-freedom structures under time-varying loads, with a focus on ground motion. (Spring Semester)
How to build sensing systems, measure and process data. Fundamental principles of noise, filtering, and frequency domain analysis. (Spring Semester)
Sensing and imaging methods in civil engineering: sound/vibration, LiDAR, SAR, ultrasound, and more.
