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, while both basic and advanced data interpretation and analysis for monitoring of concrete and steel structures are presented in detail.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethods applicable to a large spectrum of beam-like structural elements and civil structures, such as bridges, buildings, and pipelines, are summarized. These methods are developed at three scales: local scale (material or structural), global (structural) scale, and integrity scale, and are illustrated with practical examples.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey features:  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefines and describes SHM and identifies its main components and stakeholders. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the potential and benefits as well as the limitations of SHM. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces strain-based structural health monitoring of civil structures, with focus on measurement and data analysis. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the physical principles, advantages, and limitations of various types of sensors. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers fundamental error analysis and presents typical sources of errors. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the sources of short- and long-term strain, and how to interpret the strain measurement. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes basic and advanced model-based methods for data analysis. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains the basic strain-based SHM methods for monitoring various types of structures at local, global, and integrity scale. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as a guide for practicing engineers, a reference for infrastructure owners, and a textbook for researchers and SHM university courses. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA valuable companion to Glisic \u0026amp; Inaudi’s \u003ci\u003eFibre Optic Methods for Structural Health Monitoring\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Strain-Based Structural Health Monitoring of Civil Structures \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41750383591521,"sku":"9781118495353","price":90.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12623103_13215_20241125121926.jpg?v=1732543346","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781118495353-strain-based-structural-health-c","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
