Abstract

part of developing a safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation infrastructure, health monitoring of pavements and bridges, as well as the monitoring of real-time roadway conditions for safety, have become increasingly important. The sensors, data acquisition, and data transmission [...]

Abstract

In the new era of Ambient Intelligence, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are seen to bridge the gap between physical world and the Internet, making a large amount of information accessible anywhere, anytime. Over the last few years, WSNs are being developed towards a large number of [...]

Abstract

A Bayesian optimal sensor placement (OSP) framework is presented for virtual sensing in structures using output-only vibration measurements. Particularly, this probabilistic OSP scheme aims to enhance the reconstruction of dynamical responses (e.g., accelerations, displacements, [...]

Abstract

Chloride ingress in the field structure is influenced by many factors. A non-destructive monitoring is a useful tool for assessing the health of reinforced structures. This study used array sensors to measure the temperature and electrical conductivity of concrete at depths from [...]

Abstract

An improved unscented Kalman filter approach is implemented to estimate induced displacements and changes in structural properties (stiffness, frequencies and damping) during the forced dynamic response of multistory buildings to seismic [...]
