Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) deals with assessment, evaluation and technical diagnosis of different structural systems of strategic importance. Extensive knowledge of SHM shall lead to a clear understanding of risk and reliability assessment of structures, which is currently mandatory for structures of strategic importance like bridges, offshore structures, etc.
This comprehensive compendium features explanations and salient illustrations of SHM with applications to civil engineering structures, in general and offshore structures, in particular. The book is unique with respect to its contents, experimental case studies in lab scale and text presentation style. A detailed subject matter of this nature is currently scarce in the literature market.
The must-have volume is a useful reference text for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, professionals, academics and researchers in civil engineering, ocean engineering, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering.
