Abstract
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is important for the safety and performance of civil infrastructure.With IoT, the SHM paradigm is changing; real-time wireless sensors capture and transfer data directly to data processing centres, eliminating physical wiring.IoT integration enables more effective, continuous, and responsive structural monitoring in real-time.Although there are many publications in this field, few comprehensive surveys have conducted scientific analyses.This paper presents bibliometric and scientometric analysis methods to see how research progress on wireless Internet of Things (IoT) technology is applied in SHM.Over the past ten years, 170 Scopus-based publications have been evaluated to achieve this goal.Annual trends, active journals, top researchers, research hotspots, nation involvement, and keyword emergence were all noted in the review.The data reveals a marked upsurge in research activity trends, with the US playing a prominent role.Clustering visualisation with VOSviewer software was used to classify programs into various clusters and identify the scope of applications and their relationships through link strength.The findings provide a comprehensive picture of the utilisation of the Internet of Things for SHM, highlighting trends and can serve as pointers/knowledge to assist researchers in future research.
