Structural Health Monitoring of Large Civil Engineering Structures offers a comprehensive review of key developments and latest advances in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies as applied to civil engineering structures. Authored by Hua-Peng Chen, this 1st edition book covers all aspects required for practical application, including sensors and sensing technology, data acquisition and processing, damage detection techniques, and damage prognostics methods. The text delves into modal analysis of civil engineering structures, finite element model updating, vibration-based damage identification, and model-based damage assessment. It also explores monitoring-based reliability analysis and damage prognosis strategies. Through case studies, the book illustrates how SHM can be utilized in the development of sustainable and resilient civil infrastructure systems. Essential reading for professionals and researchers in structural health monitoring, civil engineering, and related fields.
