Bridges and critical transport infrastructure are primary assets and systems that underpin human mobility and activities. Loss of bridge functionality has consequences on entire transport networks, which are also interconnected ...

Along the years, there were efforts by researchers in quantifying structural performance and damage in function of vibration measurements. Curves proposed by several authors try to relate acceleration spectrum to damage ...

Overtime, bridge condition declines due to a number of degradation processes such as creep, corrosion, and cyclic loading, among others. Traditionally, vibration-based damage detection techniques in bridges have focused ...

Structural health monitoring field is growing in the use of more modern techniques and tools in order to identify damages in civil structures. The improvements in signal processing techniques and data mining have, recently, ...

In Chimbarongo, VI region of Chile, is located the San Luis road bridge, built in the year 1930. During last inspections have been detected severe scour in the piers, besides other damages, which have forced the closure ...

Fully Convolutional Networks prove to be suitable method for texture-based damage segmentation on infrastructure. A dataset has been collected to model the uncertainty in human inspection of bridges in the Japanese prefecture ...

After the introduction section of Chapter 7, section 7.2 first presents a brief overview of the approaches proposed by the FDI and DX model- based diagnosis communities. Although quite commonplace, this overview is neces- ...
