Extreme Events and the Sustainability of Civil Infrastructure Systems
The impact of extreme events is in reality the interaction among three systems; the natural environment, the human community, and the built environment the infrastructure that supports human activities. The sustainability of our infrastructure depends upon knowledge of the natural environment – for example, the research on global warming and its impact on meteorological events such as storms, d...
متن کاملHealth Monitoring for Civil Infrastructure
Internet technologies are increasingly facilitating real-time monitoring of Bridges and Highways. The advances in wireless communications for instance, are allowing practical deployment for large extended systems. Sensor data, including video signals, can be used for longterm condition assessment, traffic-load regulation, emergency response, and seismic safety applications. Computer-based autom...
متن کاملA New Framework for Increasing the Sustainability of Infrastructure Measurement of Smart Grid
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the most significant applications of the Smart Grid. It is used to measure, collect, and analyze data on power consumption. In the AMI network, the smart meters traffics are aggregated in the intermediate aggregators and forwarded to the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The infrastructure used in this network should be reliable, real-time an...
متن کاملStructural health monitoring of civil infrastructure.
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a term increasingly used in the last decade to describe a range of systems implemented on full-scale civil infrastructures and whose purposes are to assist and inform operators about continued 'fitness for purpose' of structures under gradual or sudden changes to their state, to learn about either or both of the load and response mechanisms. Arguably, vario...
متن کاملHealth Monitoring of Civil Infrastructure and Materials
Despite the generally long life span of concrete structures, they cannot be considered maintenance-free. Several incidents of catastrophic failures remind the engineering world that monitoring of structures is imperative nowadays both for prevention of loss of life and property and also for effective infrastructure management based on a usually finite budget. Due to the variety of structural si...
