Vibration characteristics of a structure can be used as an indication of its state of structural
health as they vary if the structural health is affected by damage. This is the broad principle …

For assessment of existing bridges, load rating is usually performed to assess the capacity
against vehicular loading. Codified load rating can be conservative if the rating is not …

This paper presents an enhanced method to locate and quantify damage in beam-like
structures using changes in deflections estimated from modal flexibility (MF) matrices. The …

Structural health monitoring data has been widely acknowledged as a significant source for
evaluating the performance and health conditions of structures. However, a holistic …

Irrespective to how well structures were built, they all deteriorate. Herein, deterioration is
defined as a slow and continuous reduction of structural performance, which if prolonged …

Many existing damage identification or quantification methods can be employed only if the
internal and external mass changes are negligible when tested at two different states of a …

This paper summarises the development of a state-of-art impact testing machine for
simulating impacts such as vehicular crashes or debris impacts onto structures. The …

This research has successfully developed an effective methodology to detect and locate
deterioration as well as estimate its severity in the presence of environmental and …

This research contributes towards the safe and efficient operation of our infrastructure which
are vulnerable to progressive deterioration and damage. Innovative damage detection (DD) …

Civil structures are susceptible to deterioration due to environmental and man-made factors.
Early intervention is essential to keep them in healthy condition. Early intervention is …
