Digital Twin-Enabled Structural Health Monitoring Framework for Real-Time Damage Detection in Civil Infrastructure
Abstract: Abstract The paper discusses how Digital Twin-enabled Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) restyles civil infrastructure by finding damage in real time, decreasing costs, and increasing safety levels. As opposed to the traditional inspection methods, Digital Twins apply virtual models and sensors to observe structures, like bridges, dams, and buildings immediately, which reduces the repair costs by 30–50% and extends the project’s lifespan by 20–30%. This research studies four real-world projects, namely, …
