Abstract: Abstract Bearings and expansion joints are critical elements of many bridges that permit deformations of the superstructure due to creep, shrinkage, and changes in temperature to occur without the development of longitudinal ...

Abstract: Currently, corroded corrugated steel culverts are typically assessed based on the results of visual inspections that provide qualitative data about corrosion levels. However, there is a lack of experimental data relating ...

Abstract: Distributed fiber optic strain sensing systems could potentially provide a useful tool for bridge assessment by providing insights into member forces and connection behavior as well as local cross-section changes (e.g., ...

Abstract: As the number of deteriorated infrastructure assets, including culverts, continues to rise, there is a need to find the most cost-effective approaches to dealing with these assets. At the same time, there is a growing ...

Abstract: AbstractGround deformation monitoring is essential for the safe operation of critical infrastructure and urban construction activities. Advances in distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technologies offer potential ...
