Pre-posterior Analysis of Temperature-Compensated Structural Health Monitoring Data
In monitoring system design, the expected uncertainty of key parameters representing the structural behavior must be smaller than a target uncertainty. As a result, measurements can be used to optimally manage...

Monitoring-Based Decision Support System for Risk Management of Bridge Scour
Scour is by far the leading cause of bridge failure worldwide. Nevertheless, practical applications of scour monitoring systems are still limited because transport agencies rely on visual inspections to identi...

Performance-Based Design of Structural Health Monitoring Systems
Engineers typically approach monitoring design differently from structural design, even though they are logically equivalent processes. In designing a structure, engineers follow a well-established rational p...

Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Prestressed Concrete Bridges: Differences Before and After the First-Crack Opening
A great amount of highway bridges is reaching the lifespan for which they were designed, and most of them need frequent inspections and maintenance to guarantee the safety of users. Structural health monitorin...

Consequences of Heuristic Distortions on SHM-Based Decision
The main purpose of structural health monitoring (SHM) is to provide accurate and real-time information about the state of a structure, which can be used as objective inputs for decision-making regarding its m...

In-field testing of a steel wind turbine tower
The strong drive to exploit wind energy has recently led to consideration of new types of location for wind turbines, including mountain regions. A major concern for wind farm installation in these sites is th...
