INNOVATIVE SENSORS AND AI FOR MONITORING CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES

Civil engineering, as a field, has undergone a profound
transformation in recent years, driven by technological
advancements that have revolutionized the way we design,
construct, and manage infrastructure. One of the key pillars
supporting this transformation is the integration of innovative
sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) into the fabric of civil
engineering practices. This book explores the intersection of these
two domains, shedding light on the cutting-edge technologies that
are reshaping the landscape of civil engineering monitoring. In an
era where infrastructure resilience, sustainability, and efficiency
are paramount concerns, the role of sensors has become
increasingly crucial. Advanced sensor technologies allow engineers
to gather real-time data, enabling a deeper understanding of
structural behavior, environmental conditions, and overall
performance. Concurrently, AI algorithms provide the means to
process, analyze, and derive actionable insights from the vast
amounts of data generated by these sensors. This book serves as a
comprehensive guide to the symbiotic relationship between
innovative sensors and AI in the realm of civil engineering
monitoring. Each chapter delves into specific aspects of this
relationship, covering a spectrum of topics ranging from sensor
