This book highlights the latest advancements and applications in wireless IoT-enabled structural health monitoring (SHM). It begins with an overview of the emergency and evolution of IoT-based SHM and its associated requirements and challenges. The book then delves into wireless IoT infrastructure developments, with a focus on three key pillars of smart sensing techniques, time synchronization, and reliable data transmission. Furthermore, the book introduces methods for structural condition assessment built upon the IoT infrastructure, including displacement-based strategy, AI-based methods and edge intelligence techniques. The book also discusses the system integration of wireless IoT-based SHM, focusing on end-to-end data pipeline for system automation and sensor data anomaly classification and recovery for system resilience. Full-scale applications in last ten years are showcased to offer practical insights. This book presents a comprehensive view of wireless IoT based SHM, covering various aspects of hardware, software, algorithms, and practical considerations to advance both research and practice in the field.
