Structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure.

Fuzzy Control Model for Structural Health Monitoring of Civil Infrastructure Systems

This paper presents a Fuzzy Control Model for SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) of civil infrastructure systems. Two important considerations of this model are (a) effective control of structural mechanism to prevent damage of civil infrastructure systems, and (b) energy-efficient data transmissions. Fuzzy Logic is incorporated into the model to provide (a) capability for handling imprecision ...

Smart Sensors and Wireless Technology for Scrutinizing Civil Infrastructure

As the human civilization is growing day by day, the nations are making huge investments in infrastructure and its provision or service ability. Now a days, it becomes very important to monitor the conditions or serviceability of these civil infrastructure in time due to everyday abrasion caused by nature calamities, physical or chemical actions. For this purpose structural health monitoring ha...

Multi-Sensor Sheets Based on Large-Area Electronics for Advanced Structural Health Monitoring of Civil Infrastructure

Structural health monitoring of a cable-stayed bridge using smart sensor technology: deployment and evaluation

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructure using wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs) has received significant public attention in recent years. The benefits of WSSNs are that they are low-cost, easy to install, and provide effective data management via on-board computation. This paper reports on the deployment and evaluation of a state-of-the-art WSSN on the new Jindo Bridge,...

A Multi-Agent-Based Collaborative Framework for a Self-Managing Structural Health Monitoring System

The deterioration of civil infrastructure due to ageing, altered requirements, excessive loading or inadequate maintenance underpins the urgent need for reliable and cost-effective monitoring systems. This paper presents a framework for monitoring the condition of civil infrastructure. A self-managing software framework based on multi-agent technology is designed to remotely access and autonomo...
