It should function optimally and safely in its environment and maintain structural integrity during strong winds, severe earthquakes, and other extreme events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book extends from the fundamentals to the state-of-the-art. It covers the elements of smart civil structures, their integration, and their functions. The elements consist of smart materials, sensors, control devices, signal processors, and communication networks. Integration refers to multi-scale modelling and model updating, multi-type sensor placement, control theory, and collective placement of control devices and sensors. And the functions include structural health monitoring, structural vibration control, structural self-repairing, and structural energy harvesting, with emphasis on their synthesis to form truly smart civil structures. It suits civil engineering students, professionals, and researchers with its blend of principles and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e You-Lin Xu,Jia He\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036787492X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367874926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.30d","brand":"You-Lin Xu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447733268735,"sku":"9780367874926","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e33c3ecf-0b94-4011-b4c8-edfafe1b7156.jpg?v=1777234442","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smart-civil-structures-you-lin-xu-9780367874926","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
