Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a field of research that focuses on assessing and monitoring the condition and performance of structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, and aerospace structures. SHM utilizes various sensors and measurement technologies to continuously or periodically assess the structural integrity and detect any potential damage or deterioration in real-time. By monitoring the behavior and performance of structures, SHM aims to improve the safety and reliability of infrastructure, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the lifespan of structures. This field plays a crucial role in ensuring the long-term sustainability and resilience of civil infrastructure.
