Abstract EN
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aims to develop automated systems for the continuous monitoring, inspection, and damage detection of structures with minimum labour involvement.
The first step to set up a SHM system is to incorporate a level of structural sensing capability that is reliable and possesses long term stability.
Smart sensing technologies including the applications of fibre optic sensors, piezoelectric sensors, magnetostrictive sensors and self-diagnosing fibre reinforced composites, possess very important capabilities of monitoring various physical or chemical parameters related to the health and therefore, durable service life of structures.
In particular, piezoelectric sensors and magnetorestrictive sensors can serve as both sensors and actuators, which make SHM to be an active monitoring system.
Thus, smart sensing technologies are now currently available, and can be utilized to the SHM of civil engineering structures.
In this paper, the application of smart materials/sensors for the SHM of civil engineering structures is critically reviewed.
The major focus is on the evaluations of laboratory and field studies of smart materials/sensors in civil engineering structures.
