Key building materials such as concrete ushered in a new era of civil engineering that enabled the rapid and low-cost construction of infrastructure that now serves as the backbone of modern society. Many of such buildings constructed in the 19th to the mid-20th century are still in operation today as a testament to the robustness of the civil structures enabled by the key building materials and methods. However, robustness has its limits, and the extended service life has inevitably led to the dangerous accumulation of damage in the infrastructure. Aging infrastructure is a problem met around the globe, and in the US, the National Academy of Engineering proclaimed the restoration and improvement of urban infrastructure to be one of the Grand Challenges of the 21st century. For the answer to the challenge of aging infrastructure, we look towards the development of advanced sensor and actuator technologies that hold the promise of heralding the next stage of evolution in civil infrastructure. Popular terms such as Internet of Things and smart structures were coined as a result of the intersection between advances in other engineering disciplines with civil engineering to produce the new field of structural health monitoring (SHM). The field of SHM is now at a vital crossroads, where researchers are challenged to develop technologies for the monitoring and retrofit of older buildings and at the same time to push the boundaries of SHM through the creative use of cutting-edge technologies and data processing algorithms. This issue is a snapshot of the newest research in SHM for civil structures, and it includes a range of topics such as data processing algorithms to detect damage, modeling, and simulation [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]; sensor development and experiments [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]; materials studies [27,28]; state-of-the-art reviews [29,30]; and case studies [31]. SHM is highly multi-disciplinary, and advances in other areas of study can likely be recruited for the progress of SHM. The future of this field is very bright, and will be a driver for the coming futuristic, intelligent infrastructure. 517 $aStructural Health Monitoring 606 $aBridges$xMaintenance and repair 615 0$aBridges$xMaintenance and repair. 676 $a624.28 700 $aWang$b Chuji$01367658 702 $aWang$b Bo 702 $aSong$b Gangbing 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910265233803321 996 $aStructural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Civil Structures$93391301 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01236nam 2200385 a 450 001 9910701089603321 005 20111110143631.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002414137 035 $a(OCoLC)760207065 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002414137 100 $a20111110d2010 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aLooking in the mirror$b[electronic resource] $efinal remarks of Secretary Arne Duncan to the Mom Congress 210 1$a[Washington, D.C.] :$cU.S. Dept. of Education,$d[2010] 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Nov. 10, 2011). 300 $a"May 3, 2010." 517 $aLooking in the mirror 606 $aHome and school$zUnited States 606 $aEducation$xParent participation$zUnited States 608 $aSpeeches.$2lcgft 615 0$aHome and school 615 0$aEducation$xParent participation 700 $aDuncan$b Arne$01394730 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of Education. 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910701089603321 996 $aLooking in the mirror$93452398 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05137nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9911006671703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-281-07699-6 010 $a9786611076993 010 $a0-08-055462-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000383524 035 $a(EBL)330188 035 $a(OCoLC)469642671 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000177131 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12022995 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000177131 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10210908 035 $a(PQKB)10234442 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC330188 035 $a(PPN)182566196 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000383524 100 $a20070426d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aImpinging streams $efundamentals, properties, applications /$fYuan Wu 205 $a!st English ed. 210 $aAmsterdam ;$aNew York $cElsevier ;$aBeijing, PR China $cChemical Industry Press$d2007 215 $a1 online resource (391 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-444-53037-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 341-354) and index. 327 $aFront Cover; Impinging Streams: Fundamentals - Properties - Applications; Copyright Page; Contents; Foreword; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1 Enhancement of transfer between phases and origin of impinging streams; 2 Basic principles of impinging streams; 3 Experimental evidence for enhancing transfer; 4 Other performances of impinging streams; 5 Extension of impinging stream technology; Part I: Gas-Continuous Impinging Streams; Chapter 1.

IS is classified into two kinds: Gas-continuous impinging streams (GIS) and Liquid-continuous ones (LIS). Impinging Streams describes fundamentals, major properties and application of IS, as a category of novel technologies in chemical engineering. Because of the universality of transfer phenomena, it is receiving widespread attention. This book represents the first book in this area for over 10 years and covers achievements and technologies.
