ACI SP-292:2013 PDF Download

ACI SP-292:2013 is a standard that focuses on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies. It includes 10 papers that were presented at a technical session sponsored by ACI Committee 444 at the ACI Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio in October 2011. The goal of this standard is to identify the state-of-the-art SHM technologies, including their performances, applications, and market maturity. It also aims to generalize the use of SHM technologies for various classes of problems and structures, and examine how these technologies can be used to evaluate the current conditions and performances of concrete structures. The standard also analyzes the benefits of SHM technologies in regards to the preservation and safety of concrete structures and long-term management activities in general. The papers cover a range of topics including fiber optic sensing techniques, electrical impedance spectroscopy, smart technical textiles, and life cycle analysis.
