This is a follow up to Health Assessment of Engineered Structures. It incorporates the most recent developments in health assessment and monitoring of infrastructures covering several advanced conceptual frameworks, different types of sensors, and application potentials. Opportunities and challenges in theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations generally overlooked in the profession are discussed. Also included are various types of Bayesian filtering concepts improving the commonly used techniques. Showcasing a multi-faceted, technology-based development in health assessment of infrastructures, several new approaches for health assessment are presented to assess the health of masonry structures, riveted steel railway bridges, and more, such as the use of: Modified Social Group Optimization (MSGO) - a human-based meta-heuristic optimization technique, autonomous crack detection approach using Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality (AR) - a digital interface that combines interactive holographic components with the real-world, vision-based noncontact and targetless vibration sensors, as well as intelligent use of smartphone-based health assessment.

International Symposium on Engineering under Uncertainty: Safety Assessment and Management (ISEUSAM - 2012) is organized by Bengal Engineering and Science University, India during the first week of January 2012 at Kolkata. The primary aim of ISEUSAM 2012 is to provide a platform to facilitate the discussion for a better understanding and management of uncertainty and risk, encompassing various aspects of safety and reliability of engineering systems. The conference received an overwhelming response from national as well as international scholars, experts and delegates from different parts of the world. Papers received from authors of several countries including Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, UAE, UK and USA, besides India. More than two hundred authors have shown their interest in the symposium. The Proceedings presents ninety two high quality papers which address issues of uncertainty encompassing various fields of engineering, i.e. uncertainty analysis and modelling, structural reliability, geotechnical engineering, vibration control, earthquake engineering, environmental engineering, stochastic dynamics, transportation system, system identification and damage assessment, and infrastructure engineering.

This Standard provides a guideline and methodology for assessing the condition and performance of existing building envelope systems and components, and identifying problematic and dysfunctional elements. As the adaptive reuse, rehabilitation, and improvement of existing buildings have assumed a more prominent role in meeting national needs, the ability to accurately assess the conditions of a building is imperative. The condition of the building envelope is most important since failures can result in safety and health problems, as well as structural damage. Proper evaluation of the building envelope is often the first step toward stabilization and rehabilitation of the building. This Standard is a compilation of basic information, procedures, and references, and will be an asset to the investigator developing a logical approach to the assessment of the building envelope in order to focus on fundamental defects rather than outward symptoms.
