Intelligent structure has developed rapidly since it was born. It is widely used in military, astronavigation, automobile, civil engineering, shipbuilding, medicine and other fields. It will have a much broader developing space in the future. In civil engineering, intelligent structure is an advanced research topic. Its birth and application have been changing people's view and understanding about traditional civil structure. Intelligent structure will lead civil engineering towards a direction of much safer and more sophisticated.First, the article gives a definition of intelligent material-structure system and then makes a brief introduction about the classifications and characteristics of intelligent structure and also the development and application prospect of it. Second, the article pays attention to the piezoelectric material, the characteristic of intelligent structure using piezoelectric material, the researches and applications of piezoelectric intelligent structure in civil engineering with...
