Seismic Structural Health Monitoring: From Theory to Successful Applications (Springer Tracts in Civil Engineering) - Hardcover

Hardcover

ISBN 10: 3030139751 ISBN 13: 9783030139759

Publisher: Springer, 2019

Synopsis

This book includes a collection of state-of-the-art contributions addressing both theoretical developments in, and successful applications of, seismic structural health monitoring (S²HM). Over the past few decades, Seismic SHM has expanded considerably, due to the growing demand among various stakeholders (owners, managers and engineering professionals) and researchers. The discipline has matured in the process, as can be seen by the number of S²HM systems currently installed worldwide. Furthermore, the responses recorded by S²HM systems hold great potential, both with regard to the management of emergency situations and to ordinary maintenance needs.

The book’s 17 chapters, prepared by leading international experts, are divided into four major sections. The first comprises six chapters describing the specific requirements of S²HM systems for different types of civil structures and infrastructures (buildings, bridges, cultural heritage, dams, structures with base isolation devices) and for monitoring different phenomena (e.g. soil-structure interaction and excessive drift). The second section describes available methods and computational tools for data processing, while the third is dedicated to hardware and software tools for S²HM. In the book’s closing section, five chapters report on state-of-the-art applications of S²HM around the world.
