Structural Health Monitoring: Glass Recycle Material
摘要
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of infrastructure by continuously assessing structural integrity and detecting potential damage. This chapter explores the application of SHM to concrete specimens reinforced with glass powder, a sustainable building material. Through comprehensive testing and analysis, the study aims to evaluate the effect of glass powder on concrete properties and assess its suitability for practical use. The research contributes to environmentally friendly construction practices and infrastructure development, aligning with principles of sustainability and responsible engineering. The study also discusses challenges associated with SHM, highlighting the need for accurate sensor placement, effective data management, and advanced data analysis techniques. Additionally, the chapter introduces Digital Image Correlation (DIC) as a cutting-edge technique within SHM for measuring and analysing full-field displacements and strains. DIC offers non-contact, high-precision measurements suitable for various materials and loading conditions. While DIC provides significant insights into material characteristics and structural performance, challenges such as calibration complexity and sensitivity to environmental factors must be addressed. Overall, the integration of SHM and DIC presents promising opportunities for enhancing infrastructure safety, sustainability, and resilience.
