Casting concrete at different ages for new construction and repairing or retrofitting concrete
structures requires a sufficient bond between concrete casts. The bond strength between …

The bond strength of the interface between concrete layers cast at different times is
important to ensure the monolithic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) composite …

Manually inspecting concrete surface defects (eg, cracks and air pockets) is not always
reliable. Also, it is labor-intensive. In order to overcome these limitations, automated …

In concrete structures, surface cracks are important indicators of structural durability and
serviceability. Generally, concrete cracks are visually monitored by inspectors who record …

Deterioration to concrete structures usually starts at the surface and progresses into the
structure. The deteriorated concrete has to be removed and replaced by new repair material …

Surface roughness plays an important role in the behavior of concrete-to-concrete
interfaces. Methods like sand-blasting and hydrodemolition are usually adopted to improve …

Crack is common damage that can reduce the durability of concrete structures and
accelerate structural degradation. With intent to improve the accuracy and efficiency of …

Digital images and video clips collected at construction jobsites are commonly used for
extracting useful information. Exploring new applications for image processing techniques …

Machine learning techniques have been used in different fields of concrete technology to
characterize the materials based on image processing techniques, develop the concrete mix …

In many construction and infrastructure management projects, it is important to ensure the
flatness of concrete surfaces. Inspectors assess the quality of flat surface construction by …
