Introduction

Shan Jiang is an inventor based in Wuhan, China, whose work includes an invention for monitoring concrete structures. His patent describes a fiber-optic sensing approach designed to help concrete detect changes in its surroundings and assess its internal condition.

Latest Patents

Jiang is associated with 1 patent: “Intelligent Concrete, Self-Sensing Method for Intelligent Concrete, Equipment and Storage Media.” The invention embeds long-distance, large-capacity, multiparameter fiber-optic sensing cables in concrete. A grating sensing network formed by the cables acts like a neural network, enabling broad-area monitoring of external conditions and internal structural health. The approach is intended for applications such as highways, airports, and bridges. Because the sensing cables do not use probes, they are designed to reduce the risk of damage during use. The multiparameter measurements can also improve monitoring accuracy.

Career Highlights

Jiang is associated with Wuhan University of Technology. His patent focuses on integrating sensing capabilities into concrete infrastructure, with the aim of supporting monitoring across large structures and multiple measurement dimensions.
