Summary: Reports a project from the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI). Aims to introduce the topic of intelligent monitoring and help users' access to the information provided by the DTI reports. Presents the automated monitoring of concrete structures. Explains that intelligent monitoring is helpful to the management of concrete structure, in allowing detection of deterioration processes and the rate at which they occur. Shows that it permits less expensive methods of rectification. Suggests that this type of monitoring helps to determine the remaining life of a component or a structure. Suggests that sensors can monitor structural condition, corrosion, the environment inside and outside the building.
