ASCE EMI- Structural Health Monitoring & Control Committee
Congratulations to Professor Fu on becoming a committee member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Engineering Mechanics Institute - Structural Health Monitoring & Control! (link)
Because of the need to continuously meet operational safety and functionality goals during their long service life, structural health monitoring (SHM) of full-scale civil infrastructures is an inevitable research trend. SHM is an interdisciplinary multi-purpose subject combining signal processing, system identification, damage detection, health evaluation, and several other theories. In the past two decades, with advanced technologies such as sensing networks, data acquisition, communication, signal processing, information management, and intelligent algorithms, SHM technologies and corresponding developments applied to civil infrastructures, especially buildings, have attracted the interest of scientists and engineers. Nowadays, SHM for buildings has been successfully implemented many times. Future research is directed toward the integration of advanced sensing networks, large-scale data management, data mining, information fusion, and intelligent diagnosis.

After the fabulous presentations, the workshop ended with visits to the labs at CEE and ERI@N.
EMI 2023 Mini-Symposium is open for submission
Smart sensing and artificial intelligence for civil infrastructure monitoring Civil infrastructures that make up urban and rural communities, such as bridges, buildings, roads, railways, dams and levees, ports, transmission towers, etc., serve under continuous operational and environmental stresses and, sometimes, extreme hazardous loads, leading to deterioration and damage that may interfere with their desired services and possibly threaten public safety.
Smart sensing, accompanied with artificial intelligence (AI) recently, plays a critical role in monitoring the integrities of these civil infrastructures to support essential decision-making aimed at detection, diagnosis, and prognosis of infrastructure health conditions. In recent years, we have witnessed significant advancements in the development of smart sensing technologies, such as wireless smart sensors, mobile sensing, edge computing, cloudbased management. Their significant potential is further released, with advanced signal processing. data science and AI. Examples include wireless large-area sensors for fatigue crack detection, aigle sensing system for capturing sudden events, edge/cloud computing for sensor data anomlies detection, and those developed to facilitate easy deployment and maintenance by practicing engineers, among many others.

Smart sensing, accompanied with artificial intelligence (AI), has recently received growing interest for addressing the aforementioned concern. Smart sensing can obtain timely condition or status information about civil infrastructures during their lifecycle, and hence ensure safe construction and efficient operation by providing early warnings of damage or deterioration prior to costly repair or even catastrophic failures.
The focus of this Special Issue is on presenting the latest advances in smart sensing and AI for civil infrastructure monitoring and management. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Smart sensor development (hardware or software);
-
Digital signal processing and filter design;
-
Sensor fault diagnosis and recovery;
-
Computer vision and image processing;
-
