Health Monitoring of Civil Infrastructure
Health monitoring of civil infrastructure involves continuously assessing the condition of structures like bridges, dams, and buildings to ensure safety and performance. Using sensors, data analysis, and inspection techniques, engineers can detect early signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. This proactive approach helps prevent failures, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of infrastructure. It’s similar to taking a regular health check-up for humans, ensuring the infrastructure remains reliable and safe for public use.
