Abstract

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a key role in the modern civil engineering inspection methods. Rapid developments of both small-scale and large-scale infrastructures around the world demand for efficient and timely inspection. With the advances in the field of information technology (IT), a myriad of opportunities has emerged to improve the basic design of the current SHM systems. However, in the real-world scenario, design and development of a robust SHM system face several challenges. This paper identifies such unexplored and yet essential issues that should be tackled to build SHM systems for today’s world. This paper also highlights the existing major techniques used in performing SHM on the already built and under construction infrastructures as well as proposes a novel wireless sensor network-based SHM system aimed at reducing the cost of data storage and processing, improving the security of the data and better user interface for the engineers/inspectors for apposite monitoring and control of the structure’s health parameters.
