A smart civil structure integrates smart materials, sensors,
actuators, signal processors, communication networks, power
sources, diagonal strategies, control strategies, repair
strategies, and life-cycle management strategies. It should
function optimally and safely in its environment and maintain
structural integrity during strong winds, severe earthquakes, and
other extreme events. This book extends from the fundamentals to
the state-of-the-art. It covers the elements of smart civil
structures, their integration, and their functions. The elements
consist of smart materials, sensors, control devices, signal
processors, and communication networks. Integration refers to
multi-scale modelling and model updating, multi-type sensor
placement, control theory, and collective placement of control
devices and sensors. And the functions include structural health
monitoring, structural vibration control, structural
self-repairing, and structural energy harvesting, with emphasis on
their synthesis to form truly smart civil structures. It suits
civil engineering students, professionals, and researchers with its
blend of principles and practice.
