Abstract: Monitoring of distributed strains provides important information about the behavior of structural systems. However, detection and quantification of cracks while still at micro size levels will play a more-important role ...

Abstract: A reference-free damage detection method based on distributed monitoring of strains in large structural systems is introduced. The method employs the dynamic distributed strain data to formulate its own virtual reference ...

Abstract: Development and testing of a new type of bridge weigh-in-motion system (BWIM) based on the measurement of shear forces near the supports of the bridges is described. The proposed system is applicable to both determinate ...

Abstract: In this study, a robust variant of genetic programming, namely gene expression programming (GEP) was utilized to build a prediction model for the strength of concrete under triaxial compression loading. The proposed model ...
