Sensor Technologies for Civil Infrastructures

Sensors for civil infrastructure performance assessment and health monitoring have evolved significantly over the past decade with advances through high speed and low-cost electronic circuits, advances in fabrication and manufacturing methodologies, use of novel smart? materials, and development of highly efficient signal validation and processing methods. Volume 1 describes sensing hardware and data collection covering a variety of sensors including fiber optic systems, piezoelectric sensors, strain gauges, MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems), and even lasers. Volume 2 takes the reader through sensor data analysis and case studies assessing structures such as bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels and pipelines.
