Embedded Split Ring Resonator Network for Health Monitoring in Concrete Structures

Abstract

Civil infrastructure systems such as bridges, buildings, dams, pipelines, airports, and heritage structures are complex engineered systems that play a fundamental role for the economic and industrial prosperity of society [1]. In order to build structures that are safe for the community, standardized design methodologies have been developed [1]. However, these structures are often subjected to various external loads and problematic environmental conditions that are difficult to consider during the design phase, resulting in structural deterioration [2].
