Summary

Complex engineering infrastructures (e.g., bridges, tunnels, buildings, wind turbines, etc.) face persistent threats from multi-hazard loads, leading to progressive damage and safety risks. Traditional maintenance methods are inefficient and costly, while emerging data-driven and physics-informed approaches offer new pathways to monitor structural health, predict remaining useful life, and optimize operational decisions. This field is critical to ensuring the resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure, supporting global smart asset management goals. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge advances in structural damage identification and intelligent operation & maintenance decision-making, bridging research and practice. It welcomes contributions on novel damage detection methods, data-physics fusion models, life-cycle prediction, uncertainty-aware maintenance strategies, and real-world applications in large-scale engineering structures, to drive innovation and practical deployment for safer, more sustainable infrastructure.
