Health Monitoring of Bridges offers the first comprehensive look at the subject, introducing the reader to the background and basics of health monitoring as well as its supporting technology. The book presents the methods behind health monitoring, which range from system identification to damage detection and compensation of environmental influences, as well as the hardware used in health monitoring. The book also details how bridges are rated and methods of riskassessment and the research carried out in the aerospace and other industries. With illustrations, photos, case studies, examples, and downloadable software, here is a must-have guide for bridge engineers.
