Railway bridges are a vital element of railway infrastructures, and their safety can directly
affect the regional economy and commuter transportation. However, railway bridges are …

The late opportunities prompted by artificial intelligence have motivated the current research
about structural damage detection strategies based on damage-sensitive subspace-based …

Due to the extensive construction of high-speed rail lines passing through seismically active
areas, the possibility of a sudden earthquake occurring during train operation is very high …

As corrosion has slow development, its detection at an early age could be an alternative for
reducing costs of structural rehabilitation. Therefore, the employment of structural health …

Distributed optical fibre sensing (DOFS)-based strain measurement systems are now
routinely deployed across infrastructure health monitoring applications. However, there are …

This paper proposes a methodology for the inverse analysis to predict the interface shear
stress in reinforced concrete (RC) structures strengthened using externally bonded carbon …

In this paper, the statistical finite element method is developed further to synthesize
distributed rail response data with nonlinear finite element model predictions within and …

Bridge managers are often eager to identify the carrying capacities and service performance
characteristics of bridge structures. In view of the massive number of bridges managed and …

Featured Application Through the estimate of the Load Rating Factor of existing railway
masonry arches, it is possible to identify and define an order of urgency for those bridges …

The exploit of distributed optical fiber sensor technology for vibration source detection in a
railway environment using standard telecommunication cables is a new area of research …
