Wired Magazine, in a sponsored article, outlined how building bridges and other integral infrastructure with "smart cement", using sensors involved in [[M2M]] would result in superior, more thorough tracking of bridge quality and strength. This could potentially alert engineers to any issues with structural integrity--ensuring the ability to monitor cracks and stresses.
