Health Assessment of Engineered Structures has become one of the most active research areas
and has attracted multi-disciplinary interest. Since available financial recourses are very limited,
extending the lifespan of existing bridges, buildings and other infrastructures has become a major
challenge to the engineering profession world-wide. Some of its related areas are only in their
development phase. As the study of structural health assessment matures, more new areas are
being identified to complement the concept.
This book covers some of the most recent developments (theoretical and experimental) and
application potentials in structural health assessment. It is designed to present currently available
information in an organised form to interested parties who are not experts in the subject.

Each chapter is authored by the most active scholar(s) in the area. After discussing the general
concept, various currently available methods of structural health assessment (such as the use of
smart sensors) are presented. Health Assessment discusses the following: sensor types, platforms
and data conditioning for practical applications; wireless collection of sensor data, sensor power
needs and on-site energy harvesting; and long term monitoring of structures. Uncertainty in collected
data is also extensively addressed. A chapter discussing future directions in structural health
assessment is also included.
