Summary
Modern infrastructure faces growing challenges from aging systems, extreme weather, and increasing operational demands. Ensuring long-term resilience, safety, and sustainability requires advanced monitoring techniques, robust risk assessment, and innovative durability solutions. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research in structural health monitoring (SHM), risk and resilience assessment, and safety enhancement for civil infrastructures, including bridges, buildings, and transportation networks.
We invite contributions on novel sensor technologies, data-driven condition assessment, predictive maintenance strategies, and damage detection methods. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
· Smart monitoring systems for real-time infrastructure performance evaluation
· Resilience-based design and life-cycle assessment of structures
· Durability enhancement through advanced materials and repair techniques
· Risk modeling for natural and man-made hazards
· Case studies on sustainable infrastructure rehabilitation and retrofitting
This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical applications, fostering innovations that enhance infrastructure longevity and sustainability. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit original research, reviews, and case studies that contribute to safer, more resilient, and sustainable built environments.
