The fundamentals of error analysis, as well as typical sources of errors in measurements are discussed. Sources of strain in typical construction materials such concrete, steel, timber, and composite materials are also discussed, and both basic and advanced data interpretation and analysis for static and dynamic monitoring are presented in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMethods applicable to a large spectrum of structural elements and civil structures, such as bridges, buildings, and pipelines are summarized. These methods are developed at three scales: local material scale, global structural scale, and integrity scale, and illustrated with practical examples. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces strain-based structural health monitoring of civil structures, with focus on measurement and data analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the physical principles, advantages and limitations of various types of sensors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers fundamental error analysis and presents typical sources of errors.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the sources of short- and long-term strain, and how to interpret the strain measurement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes basic and advanced methods for data analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains the basic strain-based SHM methods for monitoring various types of structures at local, global, and integrity scale.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the potential and benefits as well as the limitations of SHM.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable as a guide for practicing engineers, reference for infrastructure owners, and textbook for researchers and SHM university courses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Strain-Based Structural Health Monitoring of Civil Structures\u003c\/i\u003e is essential, state-of-the-art reading for civil and structural engineers and professionals in SHM, as well as teachers, researchers and students in civil engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Branko Glisic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1118495357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781118495353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.88d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Branko Glisic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46747692335359,"sku":"9781118495353","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e8ce9f0-9d53-4554-9105-1940ee2da32b.jpg?v=1743584452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-strain-based-structural-health-branko-glisic-9781118495353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
