Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has tremendous potential to detect incipient failures of structures, e.g., the onset of damage and unexpected behaviour during extreme climatic events or operational conditions so that corrective actions can be employed in a timely manner. In the era of climate change and progressively aging infrastructure, the importance of monitoring the health of civil infrastructure and its continual maintenance has gained considerable attention. A parallel development in smart sensors, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data mining and computing technologies has opened up several possibilities to undertake damage assessment with rapidity and ease. My current multidisciplinary research aims to develop various cutting-edge SHM methods to detect damage or anomalies in infrastructure automatically through the use of smart sensors (e.g., wireless sensors, cameras, drones, unmanned robots, and immersive glasses) and AI under a variety of challenging practical situations. These algorithms have been successfully implemented for various civil infrastructures, including pedestrian and highway bridges, high-rise buildings, towers, dams and mining industries located in North America and Europe. The proposed vibration- and vision-based SHM methods have firmly headed as invaluable tools to inspect, renew, and control large-scale infrastructure under in-service conditions with reduced maintenance cost and improved public safety. This research has also made the structural inspections rapid, remote, real-time and robust, making them suitable for maintaining sustainable and resilient infrastructure in smart cities. This talk will present an overview of these powerful and cutting-edge SHM technologies and articulate their broader impacts on our society.
