Long-Term Numerical Analysis of Subsurface Delamination Detection in Concrete Slabs via Infrared Thermography
Author(s) Sandra Pozzer, Francisco Dalla Rosa, Zacarias Martinb, Chamberlain Pravia, Ehsan Rezazadeh Azar and Xavier Maldagu Abstract One of the concerns about the use of passive Infrared Thermography (IRT) for structural health monitoring (SHM) is the...
Identifying Spatial and Temporal Variations in Concrete Bridges with Ground Penetrating Radar Attributes
Author(s) Vivek Kumar, Isabel M. Morris, Santiago A. Lopez and Branko Glisic Abstract Estimating variations in material properties over space and time is essential for the purposes of structural health monitoring (SHM), mandated inspection, and insurance of...
Sulfate-induced Changes in Rheological Properties of Fibre-reinforced Cemented Paste Backfill
Author(s) Jiwei Bian Mamadou Fall Sada Haruna Abstract Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a soft concrete-like material, is extensively used in underground mines worldwide for ground support and/or mine waste disposal. One of the most important ingredients in CPB...
L-shaped Concrete-Filled Steel Bollow-section Columns Under Diagonal Cyclic Loading
Author(s) Yong-Qian Zheng Ya-Jie Ma Peng-Song Lai Xue-Li Zhang Jian-Feng Ye Abstract L-shaped concrete-filled steel hollow-section (CFSHS) columns have the potential to be widely used as corner columns, and have the advantage of creating larger usable areas in...
