Structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure systems >> Edited by V M Karbhari, University of Alabama at Huntsville and F Ansari, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA
Author: Edited by V M Karbhari, University of Alabama at Huntsville and F Ansari, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA | Size: 12.8 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Woodhead Publishing Limited | Year: August 2009 | pages: 583 | ISBN: ISBN 1 84569 392 2 ISBN-13: 978 1 84569 392 3
- reviews key developments in research, technologies and applications
- discusses systems used to obtain and analyse data and sensor technologies
- assesses methods of sensing changes in structural performance
Structural health monitoring is an extremely important methodology in evaluating the ‘health’ of a structure by assessing the level of deterioration and remaining service life of civil infrastructure systems. This book reviews key developments in research, technologies and applications in this area of civil engineering. It discusses ways of obtaining and analysing data, sensor technologies and methods of sensing changes in structural performance characteristics. It also discusses data transmission and the application of both individual technologies and entire systems to bridges and buildings.
With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure systems is a valuable reference for students in civil and structural engineering programs as well as those studying sensors, data analysis and transmission at universities. It will also be an important source for practicing civil engineers and designers, engineers and researchers developing sensors, network systems and methods of data transmission and analysis, policy makers, inspectors and those responsible for the safety and service life of civil infrastructure.
