| Abstract: | Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) using wireless sensor technology (WST) has emerged as a promising solution to challenges associated with the declining state of aging civil infrastructure. Successful implementation of long-term, continuous, and automated SHM using WST is expected to improve public safety, increase structural reliability, enhance inspection quality, and reduce maintenance costs. Moreover, such SHM systems can aid in lifetime monitoring of future construction projects and help to assess emergency facilities and evacuation routes, including bridges and highways, in a timely manner after natural and man-made disasters. Today, research advances in WST are coming at an unparalleled pace, many leading to a number of full-scale implementations. The June 2010 issue of the Journal of Smart Structures and Systems brings together the most recent Wireless Sensor Advances and Applications for Civil Infrastructure Monitoring. To promote wider distribution of this timely collection of papers, the publishers have generously allowed publication of this special issue in the Newmark Structural Engineering Report Series. |
