This book is an introduction to techniques and applications of
optical methods for materials Characterization in civil and
environmental engineering. Emphasizing chemical sensing and
diagnostics, it is written for students and researchers studying
the physical and chemical processes in manmade or natural
materials. Optical Phenomenology and Applications - Health
Monitoring for Infrastructure Materials and the Environment,
describes the utility of optical-sensing technologies in
applications that include monitoring of transport processes and
reaction chemistries in materials of the infrastructure and the
subsurface environment. Many of the applications reviewed will
address long standing issues in infrastructure health monitoring
such as the alkali silica reaction, the role of pH in materials
degradation, and the remote and inset characterization of the
subsurface environment. The remarkable growth in photonics has
contributed immensely to transforming bench-top optical instruments
to compact field deployable systems. This has also contributed to
optical sensors for environmental sensing and infrastructure health
monitoring. Application of optical waveguides and full field
imaging for civil and environmental engineering application is
introduced and chemical and physical recognition strategies are
presented; this is followed by range of filed deployable
applications. Emphasizing system robustness, and long-term
durability, examples covered include in-situ monitoring of
transport phenomena, imaging degradation chemistries, and remote
sensing of the subsurface ground water.
