Condition Monitoring and Structural Health Monitoring of Infrastructure Systems presents important developments in this field whilst focusing on specific areas such as bridges, buildings, industrial facilities, dams and hydraulic structures, pipelines, and power generation/transmission systems, to provide the reader with a focused insight into CM/SHM in these areas. The book provides both details of the technologies and applications with a focus on infrastructure components and systems. Given its specific focus on areas of infrastructure it will help researchers, designers, and practitioners in assessing the current state-of-the-art and in the identification of problems/challenges as well as to provide a focus of the “how to” so that they can get ahead in their research/application. It will assist the researcher, practitioner, and engineer in solving the issues of assessment and design which are critically needed as well as those of diagnosis and prognosis of the condition of a structure/system moving away from the inefficient time-based inspection system to a more efficient condition-based one. Written for a wide variety of audience, this book will cover different technologies, sensors, and analysis methods with a view towards application to ensure that the reader gets an integrated overview and in-depth knowledge of the subject.
- Focuses on background and application so that the state of the art is clearly useable by the researcher, student, and practicing engineer
- Shows breadth and depth in key areas of structures
- Discusses civil infrastructure over a range of systems
