Practical examples of health monitoring of civil structures now exist, and recent or coming improvements in technology will likely add more examples. This paper discusses several health monitoring projects, both commercial and research. Some new technologies in instrumentation, communications, and analysis are then briefly listed. However, technology alone cannot improve the “market” for structural health monitoring. The decision process for monitoring must be studied, and developers of monitoring technology must realistically compare the costs and benefits. Barriers to wider adoption and implementation are discussed and some needs expressed.
