Health Monitoring of Bridges prepares the bridge engineering community for the exciting new technological developments happening in the industry, offering the benefit of much research carried out in the aerospace and other industrial sectors and discussing the latest methodologies available for the management of bridge stock.
Health Monitoring of Bridges:
Includes chapters on the hardware used in health monitoring, methodologies, applications of these methodologies (materials, methods, systems and functions), decision support systems, damage detection systems and the rating of bridges and methods of risk assessment. Covers both passive and active monitoring approaches. Offers directly applicable methods and as well as prolific examples, applications and references. Is authored by a world leader in the development of health monitoring systems. Includes free software that can be downloaded from and provides the raw data of benchmark projects and the key results achieved.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the structural health monitoring of bridges for engineers involved in all stages from concept design to maintenance. It will also appeal to researchers and academics within the civil engineering and structural health monitoring communities.
Helmut Wenzel, VCE Holding GmbH, President Hermut Wenzel has been intensively involved in the development of health monitoring systems since they began over 10 years ago. He has coordinated a major number of research projects in the field, which have been rated outstanding by the European Commission.? Currently he is the coordinator of the European Thematic Network on Structural Assessment Monitoring and Control, a project financed by the European Commission with over 3,5 million Euro funding. He has submitted over 120 papers in relevant conferences. He has been appointed as advisor to the European Commission on the 7th framework program with regard to research items in this field and he is currently elaborating the research agenda covering all these topics. He is a founding member of the International Society for Structural Health Monitoring and Intelligent Infrastructure (ISHMII), chairman of several working commissions on the subject and organiser of highly reputed structural health monitoring events.
