Abstract
The application of mechatronics in civil engineering has increased the sustainability and resilience of large-scale civil infrastructure, whose safe operation is among the utmost important issues concerning human society and our daily lives. Meanwhile, challenges faced in large-scale infrastructure applications bring about interesting and new topics for research in mechatronics. This paper firstly reports a brief survey of the recent research progresses on the construction automation in civil engineering, intelligent sensing, structural monitoring and health management, and feedback control of structural vibration. Next, a brief highlight to eight papers in this “Focused Section on Mechatronics for Sustainable and Resilient Civil Infrastructure” is provided. Finally, some latest topics, challenges, and the future trends of mechatronics application in civil infrastructure are discussed.
