Abstract: The preferable way to monitor structural behavior is to measure the actual stress in the structural members. Unfortunately, stress relieving by cutting holes or slots has been the only method applicable to date for measuring ...

Abstract: Overturning failures of curved concrete box-girder bridges with single-column piers have occurred frequently in China in recent years. Lack of an appropriate design to resist the forces caused by unevenly distributed ...

Abstract: The paper presents a study of temperature distribution and effect on the asphalt pavement of the Fourth Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge based on the 2-year continuous monitoring data. The temperature distribution model was ...

Abstract: Diffuse waves have been proved to be more sensitive to medium interior changes than direct waves due to much longer traveling path and propagation time in media. This makes diffuse waves a useful tool in nondestructive ...

Abstract: This article describes the use of coda wave measurements in a network of transducers for detecting stress changes and damage in large concrete structures. The applicability of the presented method is examined by performing ...
