Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The degradation of infrastructure is one of the most severe problems in the field of civil engineering. Structural health monitoring plays an important role in maintaining the safety and serviceability of degrading infrastructures. Techniques related to structural health monitoring have been actively studied in recent years. Although many methods have been proposed for structural health monitoring in these studies, there remains a wide range of possibilities.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers related to advanced studies in the field of structural health monitoring. The methodology is not limited only to the techniques that are extended from conventional ones. Papers proposing new and original ideas are very welcome.
Prof. Dr. Yoshikazu Kobayashi
Guest Editor
