Abstract
As newer and more reliable ways of construction were developed, civilization began to spread out further and retain functional infrastructure for longer periods of time.[...]
Highlights
For the answer to the challenge of aging infrastructure, we look towards the development of advanced sensor and actuator technologies that hold the promise of heralding the stage of evolution in civil infrastructure
Popular terms such as Internet of Things and smart structures were coined as a result of the intersection between advances in other engineering disciplines with civil engineering to produce the new field of structural health monitoring (SHM)
The field of SHM is at a vital crossroads, where researchers are challenged to develop technologies for the monitoring and retrofit of older buildings and at the same time to push the boundaries of SHM through the creative use of cutting-edge technologies and data processing algorithms
