Abstract

Structural condition monitoring, at a fundamental level, refers to the identification of structural damage through non-destructive test methods. At a higher level, this monitoring could enable prognosis of a structure's future performance unless this damage is repaired. Much work on the subject has been carried out in the aerospace and offshore industries, while more recently attempts have been made to apply condition monitoring techniques to large scale civil engineering structures. This paper presents an overview of some of the traditional damage detection methods along with more recent advances, which may offer potential for successful application of condition monitoring techniques to civil engineering structures.
