Computer Vision and AI in Structural Health Monitoring and Structural Engineering explores cutting-edge approaches to SHM, integrating advancements in computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and multimodal technologies to revolutionize how infrastructure is monitored, maintained, and managed. Starting with the fundamentals of SHM and structural engineering, the book examines the transformative power of computer vision applications, such as crack detection, corrosion assessment, and real-time deformation analysis. It also introduces vision-language models (VLMs), enabling automated defect reporting, multimodal analysis, and natural language interfaces for SHM systems.In an era of aging infrastructure and an increasing demand for safety, structural health monitoring (SHM) has become critical for ensuring the longevity and reliability of buildings, bridges, and other essential structures. This book explores these important concepts.Provides in-depth coverage on how computer vision and AI technologies transform structural health monitoring (SHM)Focuses on the emerging vision-language models that enable automated defect description, multimodal damage assessment, and natural language interfaces for SHM systems, making monitoring processes more intuitive and efficient for usersFeatures case studies on bridge monitoring systems, building inspections, and infrastructure maintenance projects, showcasing successful implementations of advanced SHM techniquesExplores cutting-edge technologies like 5G, edge computing, advanced sensors, and extended reality, highlighting their potential role in the future of SHM and offering readers forward-looking perspectives on the field

This book presents a snapshot of a major challenge, and shares subjective views on various areas of conflict in Africa and the diverse – theoretical and practical – efforts to achieve peace.

This book presents a snapshot of a major challenge, and shares subjective views on various areas of conflict in Africa and the diverse – theoretical and practical – efforts to achieve peace.

The contributions gathered here are intended to highlight the role of university peace studies programs, particularly their relevance for peace education, peace research and peace work.The book is dedicated to students and teachers of Peace Studies and Development Studies at universities as well as civil society experts.

This book shows that in our interconnected world, conflicts in one area have consequences that go beyond borders, and for the environment that sustains us. In two volumes it addresses more than 140 topics, which include: socio-economic issues, cultural and political development, conflict management, sustainable development, spirituality, history, gender, philosophy and the humanities. Gathering ideas from over 140 contributors from around Africa and the world, it offers a valuable resource for academic programme developers as well as peacebuilders and development professionals at institutions of higher learning, civil society organisations and state institutions, as well as the general public.

In this book, computational optical phase imaging techniques are presented along with Matlab codes that allow the reader to run their own simulations and gain a thorough understanding of the current state-of-the-art.
