Abstract: Determination of the depth of surface-opening (visible) cracks is of critical importance for evaluating the structural safety of concrete elements. Accurately determining the crack depth with traditional nondestructive ...

Abstract: Surface wave methods have been extensively employed to estimate time-averaged shear-wave velocity (Vs) to 30  m (Vs,30) for seismic site classification. However, the inversion of surface wave dispersion data for Vs profiling ...

Abstract: While the monitoring of longitudinal (P) waves has been widely investigated to estimate the initial setting time of concrete mixtures based on the variation in P-wave velocities, it is difficult to accurately estimate the ...

Abstract: Detecting the corrosive environment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks is of critical importance for evaluating the reliability and safety of bridge structures. However, accurately and automatically detecting a ...

Abstract: Iron tailing porous concrete (ITPC) is a type of foamed concrete material that uses iron ore tailings powder to partially replace cement. As a relatively new concrete-like material, only very limited research on the dynamic ...
