Excessive vibrations in footbridges can cause pedestrian discomfort and accelerate structural degradation. Despite this, footbridges are monitored far less frequently than vehicle bridges, as conventional monitoring methods for large bridges are often too costly for smaller structures. Recent advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have enabled more affordable structural health monitoring (SHM) by eliminating the need for wired systems and reducing labour costs. However, existing WSN-based SHM systems typically rely on high data-rate protocols to transmit large volumes of raw data for centralised processing and modal analysis, resulting in high energy consumption at the sensor nodes. To address this limitation, this research proposes a cost-effective WSN tailored for footbridge monitoring and modal identification, integrating edge computing and low-power LoRa communication. The proposed WSN uses four synchronised LoRa slave sensor nodes to sample raw acceleration data and perform onboard processing periodically. Each node extracts peak frequency and phase information locally and transmits only the processed results to a master node connected to a laptop. Node synchronisation via peer-to-peer communication enables the identification of modal shapes based on phase differences between nodes. The proposed LoRa WSN was validated on both a laboratory-scale planar frame and an actual cable-stayed footbridge, successfully distinguishing in-phase and out-of-phase vibrations and enabling real-time monitoring.

行人桥的过度振动会引起行人不适，并加速结构的退化。尽管如此，人行桥的监测频率远低于车桥，因为传统的大型桥梁监测方法对于较小的结构来说往往过于昂贵。物联网（IoT）和无线传感器网络（wsn）的最新进展通过消除对有线系统的需求和降低劳动力成本，实现了更实惠的结构健康监测（SHM）。然而，现有的基于wsn的SHM系统通常依赖于高数据速率协议来传输大量原始数据进行集中处理和模态分析，导致传感器节点的高能耗。为了解决这一限制，本研究提出了一种适合人行天桥监测和模态识别的低成本WSN，集成了边缘计算和低功耗LoRa通信。该无线传感器网络采用4个同步的LoRa从传感器节点对原始加速度数据进行采样，并定期进行板载处理。每个节点在本地提取峰值频率和相位信息，并仅将处理后的结果传输到连接到笔记本电脑的主节点。通过点对点通信的节点同步可以根据节点之间的相位差识别模态形状。所提出的LoRa WSN在实验室规模的平面框架和实际斜拉桥上进行了验证，成功区分了同相和非同相振动，并实现了实时监测。

Digital Twins (DT) and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies are emerging as transformative solutions for automating processes and visualising real-time IoT sensor data in building operations and maintenance (O&M). However, current implementations predominantly rely on 2D or static 3D interfaces, limiting visualisation, immersion and data interaction. Though MR can improve data visualisation, its integration with DT technologies is still in its infancy in building maintenance. A systematic review of 55 academic studies provides a critical and in-depth analysis of existing research on DT applications for real-time monitoring and maintenance, visualisation tools, platforms and techniques, MR applications, and related challenges in building O&M. The review identifies a key gap: existing DT-MR frameworks lack sufficient scalability and standardisation required for broader adoption in building O&M. The paper proposes future research directions toward developing immersive DT-MR frameworks that enhance understanding of these technologies in enabling automated, interactive, and visually enriched building maintenance workflows.

数字孪生（DT）和混合现实（MR）技术正在成为建筑运营和维护（O&；M）中自动化流程和可视化实时物联网传感器数据的变革性解决方案。然而，目前的实现主要依赖于2D或静态3D界面，限制了可视化、沉浸和数据交互。虽然MR可以改善数据可视化，但它与DT技术的集成在建筑维护中仍处于起步阶段。本文对55项学术研究进行了系统回顾，对实时监控和维护的DT应用、可视化工具、平台和技术、MR应用以及构建o&m中的相关挑战的现有研究进行了批判性和深入的分析。审查确定了一个关键的差距：现有的DT-MR框架缺乏在构建o&&m中广泛采用所需的足够的可伸缩性和标准化。本文提出了未来的研究方向，即开发沉浸式DT-MR框架，以增强对这些技术的理解，从而实现自动化、交互式和视觉丰富的建筑维护工作流程。

This study introduces a novel, multi-layered Digital Twin (DT) framework designed to enhance the resilience of ageing bridge infrastructure through real-time structural health monitoring (SHM) and data-driven decision support. The proposed framework integrates physics-based Finite Element Modelling (FEM), drone-based photogrammetry, and wireless sensor networks to construct a dynamic digital representation of the physical asset. By continuously synchronising sensor data with virtual models, the system establishes a foundation for predictive maintenance and lifecycle optimisation. Key innovations include a modular architecture that supports the seamless integration of diverse data sources, a closed-loop feedback mechanism for iterative model updating, and functionality for real-time anomaly detection. The proposed system supports proactive monitoring by enabling dynamic condition tracking, structural behaviour analysis, and long-term trend forecasting. The framework has been demonstrated on an operational railway truss bridge, where live vibration and environmental data were used to calibrate and validate the DT in a real-world setting. The results underscore the system's potential as a robust and scalable monitoring solution for historically significant and ageing transport assets. This work addresses critical limitations of conventional SHM approaches by offering a unified, data-centric strategy for infrastructure management. Beyond operational awareness, the proposed DT platform provides a strategic pathway toward more intelligent, more sustainable infrastructure systems prioritising resilience, informed maintenance planning, and future adaptability.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has become increasingly critical due to the rapid deterioration of civil infrastructure. Traditional methods involving heavy equipment are costly and time-consuming. Recent SHM approaches use advanced non-contact sensors, internet-of-things (IoT), and Augmented Reality (AR) glasses for faster inspections and immersive experiences during inspections. However, current methods lack quantitative damage data, remote collaboration support, and accurate 3D model alignment with the real structure. Recognizing these current challenges, this paper proposes an AR-based system that integrates Building Information Modelling (BIM) visualization and follows a flexible manipulation approach of 3D holograms to improve structural condition assessments. The proposed framework utilizes the Vuforia software development toolkit to enable the automatic alignment of 3D models to the real structure, ensuring successful model alignment to assist users in accurately visualizing damage locations. The framework also enables flexible manipulation of damage locations, making it easier for users to identify multiple damage points in the 3D models. The proposed system is validated through lab-scale and full-scale bridge use cases, with data transfer performance analyzed under 4G and 5G networks for remote collaboration. This study demonstrates that the proposed AR-based SHM framework successfully aligns 3D models with real structures, allowing users to manually adjust models and damage locations. The experimental results confirm its feasibility for remote collaborative inspections, highlighting significant improvements with 5G networks. Nevertheless, performance under 4G remains acceptable, ensuring reliability even without 5G coverage.

由于民用基础设施的迅速恶化，结构健康监测（SHM）变得越来越重要。使用重型设备的传统方法既昂贵又耗时。最近的SHM方法使用先进的非接触式传感器、物联网（IoT）和增强现实（AR）眼镜，以实现更快的检查和沉浸式检查体验。然而，目前的方法缺乏定量的损伤数据，远程协作支持，以及与真实结构精确的3D模型对齐。认识到这些当前的挑战，本文提出了一个基于ar的系统，该系统集成了建筑信息模型（BIM）可视化，并遵循3D全息图的灵活操作方法，以改善结构状况评估。该框架利用Vuforia软件开发工具包实现3D模型与真实结构的自动对齐，确保成功的模型对齐，以帮助用户准确地可视化损伤位置。该框架还可以灵活地操纵损伤位置，使用户更容易识别3D模型中的多个损伤点。该系统通过实验室规模和全尺寸桥用例进行了验证，并在4G和5G网络下分析了远程协作的数据传输性能。该研究表明，提出的基于ar的SHM框架成功地将3D模型与真实结构对齐，允许用户手动调整模型和损伤位置。实验结果证实了其远程协同检测的可行性，突出了5G网络的重大改进。尽管如此，4G下的性能仍然可以接受，即使没有5G覆盖也能确保可靠性。

The functionality evaluation of military infrastructure under attack determines the validity of operational command decisions in a critical way. In battlefield environments, conventional methodologies have been proven to be insufficient for accurate functionality evaluation due to challenges in considering multi-source uncertainties from adversarial strategies, weapon system variability, and environmental dynamics. To address this gap, an analysis framework for resilience of military infrastructure (AFRMI) was proposed, systematically integrating uncertainties in five phases, i.e. (1) offensive-defensive strategy, (2) weapon engagement, (3) physical damage, (4) functionality loss, and (5) functionality recovery. Focusing on airport runways in Air Defense and Missile Countermeasures scenarios, this study established a probabilistic methodology for quantifying multi-dimensional uncertainties as well as their cross-phase propagation mechanisms. The adversarial interactions between combatants were formulated as a Two-player Zero-sum Markov Game, where Nash Equilibrium strategies under resource constraints were derived through Q-learning reinforcement algorithms. A case study was conducted to demonstrate the application of AFRMI and revealed that it could quantifies the effect of equilibrium strategies to infrastructure functionality, as well as that of phase-coupled uncertainty propagation, overcoming the shortcoming of traditional static damage assessment by incorporating dynamic recovery pathways. The framework will provide a theoretical basis for real-time functionality state prediction under evolving adversarial conditions, and a decision-making paradigm for resilience management of military infrastructures.

受到攻击的军事基础设施的功能评估对作战指挥决策的有效性起着至关重要的作用。在战场环境中，由于考虑来自对抗策略、武器系统可变性和环境动力学的多源不确定性的挑战，传统方法已被证明不足以进行准确的功能评估。为了解决这一差距，提出了一个军事基础设施弹性分析框架（AFRMI），系统地整合了五个阶段的不确定性，即(1)攻防战略，(2)武器交战，(3)物理损坏，(4)功能损失和(5)功能恢复。以防空和导弹对抗场景下的机场跑道为研究对象，建立了一种量化多维不确定性及其跨相位传播机制的概率方法。将战斗人员之间的对抗性互动描述为二人零和马尔可夫博弈，其中通过q -学习强化算法推导出资源约束下的纳什均衡策略。结果表明，该方法可以量化平衡策略对基础设施功能的影响，以及相耦合不确定性传播的影响，克服了传统静态损伤评估方法的不足，引入了动态恢复路径。该框架将为不断变化的对抗条件下的实时功能状态预测提供理论基础，并为军事基础设施的弹性管理提供决策范式。

Long-term monitoring of externally prestressed concrete bridges using semi-closed elasto-magnetic sensors 采用半封闭式弹磁传感器对外部预应力混凝土桥梁进行长期监测

The effectiveness of external reinforcement significantly influences the durability and safety of bridges. During construction, prestress is typically applied and controlled using hydraulic jacks. However, long-term service conditions may lead to sectional deterioration or wire fractures in external tendons, which often remain undetected due to the absence of effective monitoring techniques. Since non-destructive methods should be applied to obtain the condition of external tendons for long-term monitoring, and considering the limitations of anchor tendon gauges and vibration-based methods, this research implemented a novel study for long-term monitoring and analysis of tendons in externally prestressed concrete bridges during operation. First, semi-closed elasto-magnetic sensors were deployed on two existing highway viaducts without removing the tendons; Second, prestress loss in bridges with different external prestressing configurations were analyzed using finite element method. Third, data collected over a 12-month period following bridge opening were analyzed under actual traffic loads and with consideration of temperature effects. The results indicate that the prestress values measured by the elasto-magnetic sensors correspond closely with theoretical predictions, demonstrating the suitability of this monitoring approach for practical bridge applications. Furthermore, no significant prestress loss was observed during the monitoring period.

外部加固的有效性对桥梁的耐久性和安全性有着重要的影响。在施工过程中，预应力通常使用液压千斤顶施加和控制。然而，由于缺乏有效的监测技术，长期的使用条件可能导致外部肌腱的截面恶化或钢丝断裂，而这些情况往往无法被发现。由于长期监测需要采用非破坏性的方法获取外筋状态，并且考虑到锚筋测量仪和基于振动的方法的局限性，本研究为外预应力混凝土桥梁运行过程中肌腱的长期监测和分析提供了一种新颖的研究方法。首先，将半封闭式弹磁传感器部署在两条现有的高速公路高架桥上，而不拆除其肌腱；其次，采用有限元法对不同外预应力结构下桥梁的预应力损失进行了分析。第三，在实际交通荷载和考虑温度影响的情况下，对桥梁开通后12个月内收集的数据进行了分析。结果表明，弹磁传感器测得的预应力值与理论预测值吻合较好，证明了该监测方法在实际桥梁应用中的适用性。此外，在监测期间没有观察到明显的预应力损失。

Road networks are a critical component of the built environment and play a vital role in enhancing overall community resilience. Ensuring the safety and functionality of these networks is essential, especially in hilly regions such as the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), which is highly vulnerable to multiple hazards such as earthquakes and earthquake-induced landslides. Past events in this region have demonstrated that the disruptions in road connectivity during such events lead to significant socio-economic losses by restricting access to essential services, impeding trade, and affecting tourism-based livelihoods. Therefore, this study proposes methodologies to identify critical road segments and systematically estimate the expected functional recovery of hilly roads in the IHR. The approach integrates a rapid visual screening-based technique to preliminarily assess potentially vulnerable buildings, hill cuts, and slopes that may obstruct roads. In addition, it provides a framework for incorporating detailed probabilistic methods to enable a more refined estimation of road functionality recovery. The applicability of the proposed methodologies is illustrated through a detailed case study. The insights gained from this work can support the development of effective mitigation strategies and guide resource allocation to restore the functionality of roads affected by earthquakes and earthquake-induced landslides.

道路网络是建筑环境的重要组成部分，在增强整体社区复原力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。确保这些网络的安全和功能至关重要，特别是在印度喜马拉雅地区（IHR）等丘陵地区，这些地区极易受到地震和地震引发的山体滑坡等多重灾害的影响。过去在该地区发生的事件表明，此类事件期间道路连接中断会限制人们获得基本服务，阻碍贸易，影响以旅游业为基础的生计，从而导致重大的社会经济损失。因此，本研究提出了在《国际卫生条例》中确定关键路段并系统估计丘陵道路预期功能恢复的方法。该方法集成了一种基于快速视觉筛选的技术，可以初步评估潜在的易受伤害的建筑物、山丘切口和可能阻碍道路的斜坡。此外，它还提供了一个框架，用于合并详细的概率方法，以便对道路功能恢复进行更精确的估计。通过详细的案例研究说明了所提出方法的适用性。从这项工作中获得的见解可以支持制定有效的减灾战略，并指导资源分配，以恢复受地震和地震引起的滑坡影响的道路的功能。

Visual building condition assessment is resource-intensive, particularly when inspections are repeated across large areas. This study seeks to reduce this burden by predicting the visual condition of surface-level architectural and structural elements and the latent risk in underlying elements using condition graphs. The proposed Scan-to-Condition prediction workflow builds on Scan-to-BIM and extends it to support ongoing inspection and prediction. This is demonstrated in a case study of an 818 m² mixed-use building in Melbourne that lacked prior BIM documentation. The workflow consisted of 4 components: (1) an optimised terrestrial laser scanning protocol for repeatable documentation and manageable data volumes, (2) a Scan-to-BIM modelling schema enriched with element-level confidence metrics and hidden-profile inference (3) a unified, multimodal condition documenting platform, and (4) an automated BIM-to-Graph Markup Language (GraphML) conversion method that generated graph representations for condition prediction using a custom Graph Attention Network (GAT) model. The workflow was designed as an iterative cycle in which baseline and follow-up point clouds, a semantically enriched BIM, and inspector reports were progressively integrated to form a longitudinal dataset. Future predictions are proposed to drive inspections and maintenance, progressively reducing manual human inspections over time.

视觉建筑状况评估是资源密集型的，特别是在大面积重复检查时。本研究试图通过使用状态图预测地表建筑和结构元素的视觉状况以及底层元素的潜在风险来减轻这种负担。提出的扫描到状态预测工作流程建立在扫描到bim的基础上，并将其扩展到支持正在进行的检查和预测。这在墨尔本一座818平方米的混合用途建筑的案例研究中得到了证明，该建筑缺乏先前的BIM文档。工作流由4个部分组成：(1)优化的地面激光扫描协议，用于可重复记录和可管理的数据量；(2)扫描到bim建模模式，丰富了元素级置信度指标和隐藏轮廓推理；(3)统一的多模态状态记录平台；(4)bim到图形标记语言（GraphML）自动转换方法，该方法使用自定义图形注意网络（GAT）模型生成用于状态预测的图形表示。工作流程被设计为一个迭代周期，其中基线和后续点云，语义丰富的BIM和检查员报告逐步集成，形成纵向数据集。未来的预测将推动检查和维护，随着时间的推移逐步减少人工检查。

Embedded wireless sensors for mass concrete temperature monitoring face challenges in operating at representative depths due to signal attenuation, particularly before the concrete sets. This study evaluates a novel ultra-high frequency (UHF) wireless sensor for real-time temperature monitoring in mass concrete. Five large-scale concrete cubes with various mix designs were cast to assess the operational capabilities of the sensors at depths of up to 500 mm from the external surface and at distances of up to 30 m from the receiving antenna. The sensors effectively operated at depths up to 500 mm and distances up to 20 m, outperforming conventional Bluetooth sensors. Data transmission improved as the concrete hardened, with minimal long-term data loss after setting. Concrete consistency within tested ranges did not significantly impact performance. These results confirm that UHF-based sensors are a viable solution for thermal monitoring in mass concrete, eliminating the need for external probes.

由于信号衰减，特别是在混凝土凝固之前，用于大体积混凝土温度监测的嵌入式无线传感器在代表性深度下的操作面临挑战。本研究评估了一种用于大体积混凝土实时温度监测的新型超高频（UHF）无线传感器。铸造了五个具有不同混合设计的大型混凝土立方体，以评估传感器在距离外表面500毫米深度和距离接收天线30米距离的操作能力。该传感器可在500毫米的深度和20米的距离内有效工作，优于传统的蓝牙传感器。随着混凝土硬化，数据传输能力提高，凝结后的长期数据丢失最小。在测试范围内的混凝土一致性对性能没有显著影响。这些结果证实，基于uhf的传感器是大体积混凝土热监测的可行解决方案，无需外部探头。

Existing methods for impact force identification are based on full transfer matrix. Constructing and using transfer matrices can be computationally intensive, especially for large-scale complex structures in practice. Partial transfer matrix refers to a subset of the full transfer matrix, potentially reducing computational cost and complexity. In this paper, a partial transfer matrix-based group sparse regularisation method is proposed for the impact force localization and reconstruction. Its robustness and adaptivity with respect to different subsets of full transfer matrix, noise level and number of impact forces are numerically studied using impact forces on a simply supported beam. The number of sensors for impact force identification can be significantly reduced by the proposed method and its localization and time history reconstruction can be determined even with one single sensor configuration. A 10 m long steel-concrete composite bridge model is built in the laboratory. The effectiveness of the proposed method for impact force identification is validated and compared with L₁-norm and L₂-norm regularisation methods numerically and experimentally. Results show that the proposed partial transfer matrix-based group sparse regularisation method has good robustness and identification accuracy and has better performance on the impact force localization and time history reconstruction comparing with L₁-norm and L₂-norm regularisation methods.

现有的冲击力识别方法是基于全传递矩阵的。构造和使用传递矩阵可能需要大量的计算量，特别是在实际中处理大型复杂结构时。部分转移矩阵是指完全转移矩阵的子集，可以潜在地降低计算成本和复杂性。本文提出了一种基于部分传递矩阵的群稀疏正则化方法，用于冲击力的局部化和重构。以简支梁的冲击力为例，研究了该方法对全传递矩阵的不同子集、噪声水平和冲击力数量的鲁棒性和自适应性。该方法可以显著减少用于冲击力识别的传感器数量，并且即使采用单一传感器配置也可以确定其定位和时程重建。在实验室中建立了一座10 m长的钢-混凝土组合桥模型。通过数值和实验验证了该方法的有效性，并与l1范数和l2范数正则化方法进行了比较。结果表明，与l1范数和l2范数正则化方法相比，本文提出的基于部分传递矩阵的群稀疏正则化方法具有较好的鲁棒性和识别精度，在冲击力局部化和时程重建方面具有更好的性能。
