Development of Monitoring, Analysis and Maintenance Technics of Infrastructures
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The services of large infrastructures, such as bridges, buildings and stadiums, is of great significance to social stability. Due to the coupling effect of loads and environmental actions, performance degradations occur in these structures under long term service and result in security risks. Hence, monitoring, analysis and maintenance techniques for infrastructure are vital. Specifically, monitoring and analysis show the service state of structures and provide decision support for their maintenance, which reduces the risk of failure.
The purpose of this Topic is to systematically display the latest developments in monitoring, analysis and maintenance techniques for infrastructure. Furthermore, these developments are supported by multiple disciplines, such as sensing and artificial intelligence. We invite scholars in various fields to discuss the current challenges in this area and welcome the emergence of new technologies to promote technological innovation and development. The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Structural health monitoring;
- Modal analysis;
- Optimal sensor placement;
- Vibration control;
- Structure dynamic analysis;
- Field testing;
- Artificial intelligence;
- Computer vision;
- Model updating;
- Structural maintenance.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
