N2  - The increasing development of large-scale and complex civil infrastructure, such as long-span bridges and high-rise buildings, needs huge investment and is critical to the economy of highly urbanized cities in Mainland China. The exposure of civil infrastructure to natural and man-made hazards may cause structural degradation or damage. If the accumulated damage cannot be detected in a timely manner, structural safety will be threatened, and the damage may lead to partial or even total collapse of a structure, resulting in huge economic loss and fatalities. To prevent and mitigate disasters, innovative technologies in disaster prevention and mitigation have attracted significant research efforts worldwide, and many new technologies have been developed to cope with engineering problems that are encountered in the design, analysis, operation, and maintenance of complex civil facilities...<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
