Recent advances in health monitoring of civil structures

This paper presents a review of recent advances made in vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), using the responses of the structure to an excitation. The review is divided into parameter and feature estimation, based on linear structural behavior, SHM taking into account the nonlinear structural behavior, sensor layout and data collection strategies and integration of SHM, with the vibration control of structures, wireless monitoring, and application of LIDAR.
