"In summary, I'm delighted with the book as a source of wellbalanced practical information about an exciting technology.„(Geotechnical News, 1 June 2008)
“In conclusion, the book is useful for understanding one of thetechnology of structural monitoring for Civil Engineeringapplications today available on the market. But, even moreimportant, the book represents a good guideline for sensorplacement and performance reconstruction from boundary (i. e. notinternal to the structural body) measurements.„ (Structural ControlHealth Monitoring, 2010)
“This makes the book extremely useful for structural inspectorswho need to understand the condition of civil structures from astructural perspective ... Based on this, it can help them to reachcorrect evaluations of the true condition of the structures, and inturn helps them make effective decisions on the final fate of thesestructures.„ (Can. J. Civ. Eng., 19 February 2008)
“In a nutshell, this book is recommended as a good reference andsource of valuable information for basic and applied principles inlong gauge deformation sensing. It embodies the valuable fieldexperiences of the authors for sensor placement and interpretationof data. It is also written in a simple format and without verymuch of rigor for non-optical physics majors.„ (Structure andInfrastructure Engineering, 1 October 2009)
“Overall the Book is organised so that it can be used as astep-by-step guide to implement a monitoring system and includesnumerous application examples on the most common types ofstructures, such as building, bridges, historical monuments, piles, dams, tunnels, pipelines, risers, and off-shore structures, andtheir most frequently monitored parameters.„ (TMCnet. com, 17 March2011)
