Conventional damage detection techniques are gradually being replaced by state-of-the-art
smart monitoring and decision-making solutions. Near real-time and online damage …

Damage detection of civil engineering structures during the past decade has focused on
eliminating the effects of the changing environmental and operational conditions, from the …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a means of identifying damage from structural
response to environmental loads. Real-time SHM is of particular use for rapid assessment of …

In the last decades, new and powerful numerical methods for static and dynamic analysis
and design of civil structures have been developed: the Finite Element (FE) method, in …

During the last years, a number of techniques aimed at the experimental identification of the
dynamic characteristics of structures has been developed. Their use has progressively …

This paper describes a new approach of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) using fibrous
sensors inserted inside composite reinforcements during their weaving. A flexible …

In this paper we describe the manufacturing and testing of an intelligent carbon fibre
composite based on 3D-woven reinforcement. Piezoresistive fibrous sensors developed and …

In this article, we suggest a new type of seismic source for surveying both structure state and
foundation soil conditions regardless of the level of seismic noise. In our opinion, powerful …

Damage detection methods developed in the literature are affected by the presence of
outlier measurements. These measurements can prevent small levels of damage to be …

Energy harvesting, which is a popular subject, can be defined as the use of energy released
by environmental forces such as earth-shaking, wind, etc. Civil engineering structures also …
