Structural Health Monitoring Technologies for Civil Engineering Structures

PDF Structural Health Monitoring Technologies for Civil Engineering Structures   Author:[ Ahmet Turer ] - Middle East Technical University, Civil Engr. Dept., 06800 Ankara, Turkey   Abstract: This paper discusses basic principles of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), how it has evolved and current state-of-the-art. The need for monitoring is categorized under main titles of necessity for SHM. The toolbox of monitoring projects share similar sensors. Most commonly used sensors and their working principles are briefly discussed. The duration of measurement and outcomes obtained from short and long term monitoring are elaborated. Dynamic and static measurements sometimes need to be combined for the maximum gain from monitoring studies. Advanced tools like modal analysis, acoust ...
