Structural Health Monitoring in Civil Engineering: Materials and Sensor Technologies
In the realm of civil engineering, the concept of structural health monitoring (SHM) has emerged as a transformative approach to ensuring the safety, longevity, and performance of critical infrastructure. By leveraging advanced materials and sensor technologies, SHM enables engineers to continuously assess the condition of buildings, bridges, dams, and other structures, empowering proactive maintenance and early detection of potential issues. This proactive approach not only enhances safety but also contributes to cost savings and sustainability by optimizing the use of resources....
