Canada Webinar Series
Celebrating products from Canada
An AIAOC partnership with the Government of Canada
Sensequake sensing technologies and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing traditional structural engineering practices. Patented sensing-based seismic evaluation methodology is done without the need for structural drawings or finite-element models. The approach is based on real measured ambient vibrations, is non-intrusive, and takes only a few hours.
When:
May 20, 2021
Webinar:
12 - 1:00 PM
Units:
1 AIA HSW
Cost:
Free for AIAOC Members, $20 Non-Members (plus service fee)
Presented By:
Sensequake wireless sensors and its patented data-analysis software provide:
Baseline and heartbeat of a structure
Damage detection due to natural hazards or aging
Patented sensing-based seismic evaluation of buildings via FEMA-P58
Permanent health monitoring
Verifying construction according to the structural design assumption
Reducing retrofit cost and increasing reliability
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will learn about sensing-based structural analysis.
Attendees will learn about predictive asset maintenance and monitoring based on sensing technologies.
Attendees will learn about the sensing-based structural analysis benefits through landmark case studies in North America.
Attendees will learn how to minimize mistakes in finite element models, design, and construction by calibrating with real-world data.
Presenter:
Farshad Mirshafiei, CEO
Farshad serves as the CEO of Sensequake, winner of the best company award of 2017 in Montreal, and has a Ph.D. in structural engineering from McGill University. With the goal of bringing academic science into commercialization to make cities safer and smarter, Farshad founded Sensequake in 2015. Sensequake is the first sensing-based platform for structural analysis and develops software, vibration sensors and provides professional services based on its proprietary technologies. Instead of visual inspections, Sensequake’s predictions are based on actual data from sensors deployed on structures. Sensequake technology has been used to assess many landmark buildings and bridges across Canada, USA and Mexico such as Canada’s Parliament building and the 3.4 kilometer New Champlain bridge and the historic California Golf Club.
Farshad is the recipient of the 2015-2016 William and Rhea Seath Award, the highest distinction award from McGill University for the best invention of the year, and the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman award for the top 25 emerging entrepreneurs in Quebec.
