Condition Monitoring of Materials and Structures

Proceedings of a symposium on condition monitoring of materials and structures at the Engineering Mechanics Conference, held in Austin, Texas, May 2000. Sponsored by the Engineering Mechanics Division of ASCE.

This collection contains 16 papers reporting the latest research related to materials and structural monitoring, including materials testing, durability testing, nondestructive monitoring of structures, sensors for composite materials, and condition monitoring of bridges.

Topics include:

• acoustic emissions,
• fiber optic sensors,
• materials processing and durability testing,
• fiber-reinforced polymer composites in bridges, and
• instrumental structures.
