Strain-based condition evaluation has garnered as a crucial method for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of large-scale engineering structures. The use of traditional wired strain sensors becomes tedious and time-consuming due to their complex wiring operation, more workload, and instrumentation cost to collect sufficient data for condition state evaluation, especially for large-scale engineering structures. The advent of wireless and passive RFID technologies with high efficiency and inexpensive hardware equipment has brought a new era of next-generation intelligent strain monitoring systems for engineering structures. Thus, this study systematically summarizes the recent research progress of cutting-edge RFID strain sensing technologies. Firstly, this study introduces the importance of structural health monitoring and strain sensing. Then, RFID technology is demonstrated including RFID technology’s basic working principle and system component composition. Further, the design and application of various kinds of RFID strain sensors in SHM are presented including passive RFID strain sensing technology, active RFID strain sensing technology, semi-passive RFID strain sensing technology, Ultra High-frequency RFID strain sensing technology, chipless RFID strain sensing technology, and wireless strain sensing based on multi-sensory RFID system, etc., expounding their advantages, disadvantages, and application status. To the authors’ knowledge, the study initially provides a systematic comprehensive review of a suite of RFID strain sensing technology that has been developed in recent years within the context of structural health monitoring.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of large-scale structures during their operational lifespan, such as pipelines, railways and buildings. In the last few years, radio frequency identification (RFID) combined with sensors has attracted increasing interest in SHM for the advantages of being low cost, passive and maintenance-free. Numerous scientific papers have demonstrated the great potential of RFID sensing technology in SHM, e.g., RFID vibration and crack sensing systems. Although considerable progress has been made in RFID-based SHM, there are still numerous scientific challenges to be addressed, for example, multi-parameters detection and the low sampling rate of RFID sensing systems. This paper aims to promote the application of SHM based on RFID from laboratory testing or modelling to large-scale realistic structures. First, based on the analysis of the fundamentals of the RFID sensing system, various topologies that transform RFID into passive wireless sensors are analyzed with their working mechanism and novel applications in SHM. Then, the technical challenges and solutions are summarized based on the in-depth analysis. Lastly, future directions about printable flexible sensor tags and structural health prognostics are suggested. The detailed discussion will be instructive to promote the application of RFID in SHM.

“…The breakage‐triggered mechanism enables the sensor to measure the largest deformation of the brace during earthquakes, and the RFID tag will retain this deformation information until the reader interrogates the tag. Most previous RFID‐based strain sensors 19–23 can only measure the real‐time strain when the reader interrogates the RFID tag. If these sensors are used to detect the strain of a structural component after earthquakes, the residual strain will be obtained instead of the largest strain.…”

Summary Structural components in a building are often enclosed by architectural coverings, which make it difficult to detect the damage levels of these components after earthquakes, because it is costly and time‐consuming to remove the coverings. To rapidly detect the deformation conditions of the braces in a tension‐only concentrically braced frame, a novel wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) based deformation sensor is presented in this paper. The battery‐less sensor can be mounted on a steel plate brace, and when the largest elongation that the brace has ever experienced exceeds one of the preset deformation thresholds, the impedance of the RFID tag will change accordingly. In other words, the RFID tag can record the peak tensile deformation of the brace by changing its electrical state passively. In order to collect the deformation information of the key components of a structure after an earthquake, one only needs to carry an RFID interrogator/reader into the building and scan the RFID tags one by one in a contactless and non‐line‐of‐sight way. Then, the damage levels are displayed in a building information modeling (BIM) software, and the collected information are further used to estimate the building losses automatically, which can help decision‐makers decide whether to repair or to reconstruct the building. In this paper, a middleware was developed to enable the RFID reader to communicate with the BIM software. An experimental test was carried out to validate the sensor‐reader‐BIM system. A procedure for designing an optimal distribution of the deformation thresholds is also presented.
