“…This study is devoted to the design of an elastic polymer thin film-based capacitive wind-pressure sensor to meet the anticipated use for real-time monitoring of structural wind pressure in civil engineering. This sensor is composed of four basic units: lateral elastic deflection unit of a wind-driven circular polymer thin film, parallel plate capacitor with a movable circular electrode plate, spring-driven return unit of the movable electrode plate, and dielectric materials between electrode plates. …”

“…Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP), with their advantage of corrosion resistance, have potential to be used as structural members in civil engineering constructions. Pultruded GFRP angle section trusses could be used instead of steel sections in remote areas and in areas prone to corrosion. …”

“…Determining the roughness of technical surfaces is an important task in many engineering disciplines. In civil engineering, for instance, the repair and reinforcement of building component parts (such as concrete structures) requires a certain surface roughness in order to ensure the bond between a coating material and base concrete. …”

“…The results of the ERT method defined the necessity to develop ad-hoc electrical resistivity methods to support the characterization and monitoring of buried foundation structures for civil engineering applications. Finally, the paper introduces a new approach based on the use of cross-hole ERTs (CHERTs) for the engineering structure monitoring, able to reduce the uncertainties usually affecting the indirect results.…”

“…It is known that the presence of microstructures in solids such as joints and interfaces has an essential influence on the studies of the development of advanced materials, rock mechanics, civil engineering, and so on. However, microstructures are often neglected in the classical local (Cauchy) continuum model, resulting in inaccurate descriptions of the behavior of microstructured materials. …”
