In this talk, the author will report his recent innovative research in interface monitoring using piezoceramic transducers and applications to civil engineering. The talk first reviews the importance of interface monitoring and briefly surveys the literature. With an introduction to the basics of piezoelectric effect and piezoceramic transducers, the compressive mode and shear mode smart aggregates are presented. The smart aggregates are suitable for application in concrete structures. To monitor structural interface, the active sensing approach using piezoceramic transducers is employed. With the active sensing, the time reversal based method and the wavelet packet analysis based method are developed to monitor the structural interface. The successful applications of interface monitoring include bolt loosening monitoring, steel-concrete interface monitoring of steel-concrete composite structures, concrete crack monitoring with the presence of water, monitoring of crack and leakage in concrete pipe, and monitoring of grout fulfilment in tendon duct.
