Abstract

In this paper, recent research and application activities on smart sensing, monitoring, and damage detection for civil infrastructures are briefly introduced. Emphasis is given to the activities in Korea. First, the state of the art in smart sensors technology is reviewed including optical fiber sensors, piezoelectric sensors, and wireless sensors. Then, a brief overview is given to the recent advances in the structural monitoring/damage detection techniques such as ambient vibration-based bridge health evaluation, piezoelectric sensors-based local damage detection, wireless sensor networks and energy harvesting, and wireless power transmission by laser/optoelectronic devices. Finally, recent collaborative R&D activities on smart structure technologies in Korea are discussed, which have been carried out on test-road bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and railroad bridges, sharing the up-to-date information and promoting the smart sensors and monitoring technologies for applications to civil infrastructures.
