Structural Health Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Infrastructure, such as bridges, buildings, and dams, suffer extreme load action, which can affect operational performance. To identify this phenomenon as it occurs, structural health monitoring (SHM) has been investigated and applied. The information extraction or performance evaluation from monitoring data is the focus of SHM research. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to bring the most recent research trends and advances in SHM to identify structural change under long term service and evaluate structural performance. Potential topics include, but are not limited to：

• structural health monitoring;
• damage identification;
• modal analysis;
• Intelligent algorithms for data mining;
• optimal sensor placement;
• performance evaluation;
• field tesing;
• model updating;
• other related aspects.
