xii, 562 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. Performance assessment and health monitoring of civil infrastructures has the potential to increase public safety while decreasing maintenance costs. Typically, sensors are strategically placed in a structure to measure and record data and to draw conclusions about the state of a structure. Volume 2 takes the reader through sensor data management and analytical techniques for fault detection and localization. It will look at prognosis and life-cycle assessment. The majority of the chapters are case studies in assessing structures such as bridges, buildings, super-tall towers, dams, tunnels, wi. 1 - Introduction to sensing for structural performance assessment and health monitoring, 2 - Sensor data acquisition systems and architectures, 3 - Commonly used sensors for civil infrastructures and their associated algorithms, 4 - Piezoelectric transducers for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 5 - Fiber optic sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 6 - Acoustic emission sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 7 - Nonlinear acoustic and ultrasound methods for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 8 - Radar technology: radio frequency, interferometric, millimeter wave and terahertz sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 9 - Electromagnetic sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 10 - Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures 11 - Multifunctional materials and nanotechnology for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 12 - Laser-based sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 13 - Corrosion sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 14 - Vision-based sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 15 - Robotic sensing for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures, 16 - Design and selection of wireless structural monitoring systems for civil infrastructures, 17 - Permanent installation of wireless structural monitoring systems in infrastructure systems, 18 - Energy harvesting for infrastructure sensing systems, edited by M.L.
