Use of IoT for structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures: a state-of-the-art review

Sanjeev Bhatta, Ji Dang · 27 Nov 2024

Abstract The primary goal of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is to assess performance and determine the physical state of the structures. Technological improvements and the ubiquitous accessibility of Wi-Fi networks have enhanced real-time SHM based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Extensive structural health evaluation can be conducted using real-time test data collected from various…

GIS and remote sensing based analysis for monitoring urban growth dynamics in Western Himalayan city of Dharamshala, India

Nishant Mehra, Janaki Ballav Swain · 28 Jan 2025

Abstract Ill-managed and unregulated urban sprawl has posed critical environmental and social challenges in the developing nations. There is an inherent need to monitor and measure the LULC changes to balance socio-economic development pressures and conservation measures. Integrating remote sensing and GIS has markedly helped frame intervention strategies in the fragile Himalayan regions. The research…

Deep learning enabled seismic fragility evaluation of structures subjected to mainshock-aftershock earthquakes

Shan He, Yuchen Liao, Peng Sun et al. · 5 Feb 2024

Abstract Mainshock-aftershock earthquakes have gained significant attention since accumulated damages induced by multiple shocks are likely to cause failure of structures. This paper presents a deep learning approach based on a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network for assessing the seismic fragility of structures under mainshock-aftershock scenarios. The GRU network is utilized to create a surrogate…

Slope susceptibility map for preventive measures against rainfall-induced slope failure

Harianto Rahardjo, Qian Zhai, Alfrendo Satyanaga et al. · 16 Oct 2023

Abstract Rainfall-induced slope failures frequently occurs in many urban areas around the world especially due to the impact of the global warming. Some slope failures result in casualties that have negative impacts on urban sustainability. The slope failures are normally observed near slope surface within the unsaturated zone above the groundwater table. Hence, it is…

Wavelet-based vibration denoising for structural health monitoring

Ahmed Silik, Mohammad Noori, Zhishen Wu et al. · 7 Nov 2024

Abstract In the context of civil engineering applications, vibration responses are complex, exhibiting variations in time and space and often containing nonlinearity and uncertainties not considered during data collection. These responses can also be contaminated by various sources, impacting damage identification processes. A significant challenge is how to effectively remove noise from these data to…

Urban Lifeline template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Urban Lifeline format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Urban Lifeline template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Urban Lifeline use?
Urban Lifeline uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Urban Lifeline 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Urban Lifeline?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Urban Lifeline document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
