Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an important issue in the field of civil engineering especially large infrastructures. In this project, an innovative piezoceramic based approach is developed for the structural health monitoring of various structures. The piezo-electric property of the PZT is used for Structural Health Monitoring and Damage detection. A ceramic based piezoelectric material PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) and piezoceramic based disc is used for compressive and seismic stress monitoring. Piezoelectric material converts the mechanical strain applied on it into electric charge, and vice-versa. Hence, both the properties will be used alternatively in actuator and sensor. The results will be used for damage analysis and categorization.
