Features: This book is one of the series "New Technologies in Civil Engineering" compiled by the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University, written to meet the current needs of the construction industry in structural testing, engineering inspection, and safety assessment and reinforcement of buildings. The book consists of 8 chapters, divided into 3 parts. The first part is on quasi-static experimental methods, including the fundamentals and applications of quasi-static experimental methods. The second part is on dynamic property testing of buildings, covering testing methods and requirements, analysis and processing of test data, and case studies on building dynamic property testing. The third part is on safety assessment and reinforcement of buildings, including structural safety inspection, structural safety assessment and evaluation, and reinforcement and strengthening of building structures. The book closely aligns with China's engineering practices and common issues in urbanization. Based on the authors' extensive experience in related fields, the book provides detailed and in-depth explanations of relevant content, reflecting domestic and international research achievements. The engineering case studies in the book help readers understand and master the material. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for civil engineering majors in higher education institutions, as well as a self-study guide for engineering technicians and researchers in related fields.
