INFRASTRUCTURE HEALTH IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Understanding engineering structural health is vital for making informative decisions in maintaining and renewing infrastructure to meet increasing demands. Structural Health in Civil Engineering integrates the decision making concept into the field of structural health. This book examines the process of addressing and maintaining structural health, including measurements, structural identification, and damage identification and discusses the theoretical and practical issues involved for each aspect. Emphasizing state-of-the-art practice as well as future directions, this text also features numerous practical case studies and covers the latest techniques in sensing and sensor utilization.

Objectives of Structural Health Engineering. Measurements. Structural Identification. Damage Detection. Decision Making and Risk Hazard.
