Abstract
Large civil engineering structures, such as buildings, bridges, power plants, dams,
and plant facilities, are continuously subjected to dynamic loads, which may cause
structural deterioration and damage during their long service lives of about 100 years. As structural engineers, we are responsible to plan, design, construct, operate, and
maintain those structures so that we can assure the functionally effectiveness and
structurally safety of them, which are very vital to the people’s daily lives and the
industrial and business activities. Recently smart structures technologies have been
emerging as effective technologies to assure the safety and functionality of those
structures and industrial facilities.
This lecture covers the state-of-the-art researches on structural dynamics and smart structures technology. More specifically the following topics are discussed:
1. Dynamic Analysis of Structures against Wind, Waves and Earthquake Loads,
Smart and Green Materials,
2. Smart Sensing, Monitoring, and Diagnosis, and
3. Response Modification and Structural Control.
