Abstract

In the last years, advancements toward structural monitoring and retrofit strategies have increased to offset the impacts of climate change, global economic development, population growth and mitigation, socio-ecological changes, and rapid urbanization and to improve urban resilience. “Green” and sustainable technologies not only offer an important element in developing urban resilience across different scales (e.g., building, infrastructure, community), but also in helping foster adaptive capacity to cope with environmental disturbances.
The mini symposium is dedicated to all the contributions that aim to transform the future of built environment through the development of real-time efficient structural monitoring systems and innovative retrofitting approaches which make civil structures smart, sustainable, durable, multi-hazard resistant and resilient. In this context, also digital representations of built environment interacting through the Internet of Things plays an important role as they allow the optimization of the use of experimental data and modeling to manage resources and to preserve building safe conditions by means of a set of strategies relying on the integration of physics-based and data-driven methods, environmental sustainability, and low-carbon-emission operations.
