Monitoring, Evaluation and Control for Life-Cycle Performance of Intelligent Civil Structures

This paper includes five parts. The first is the sensing technology, in which ultrasonic-based sensing technology for scour monitoring of bridge piers, electro-chemistry-based distributed concrete cracks and automobile wireless sensors are introduced. The second is the application of compressive sensing technology in structural health monitoring, in which the recovery of lose data for wireless senor networks, spatial distribution of vehicles on the bridge and localization of acoustic emission source by using compressive technique are included. The third is damage monitoring and identification of seismically excited structures, in which data-driven seismic localization approach and nonlinear hysteretic model identification approach are proposed. The fourth is the monitoring for wind and wind effects of long-span bridges, the vortex-induced vibration of deck, suspended cables and stay cables is observed and the buffeting of bridge under Typhoon is also measured. The last one is the data analysis, modeling and safety evaluation of bridges based on structural health monitoring techniques.
