17^th Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring Workshop

20-21 November 2025

Newcastle, NSW, Australia

The ANSHM workshop organising committee would like to invite you to the 17^h Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring (ANSHM) Workshop in Newcastle.

This event is jointly hosted by EngAnalysis and the University of Newcastle with two central themes of “custodianship” and “value”. We are expecting all presentations to provide a balanced and informed assessment of technology application and the benefits and limitations of monitoring technologies.

This workshop aims to showcase some of Australia and New Zealand’s leading projects and raises awareness of monitoring technologies and build collaborations for the application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).

ANSHM comprise all major national universities, road/rail authorities, engineering advisory and technology companies across Australia and New Zealand. Researchers, engineers, managing authorities, asset owners, and anybody interested in data informed asset management is welcome to attend this workshop.
