Concrete surface cracks are one of the earliest indicators used to assess structural damage,
serviceability and durability. This study proposes a novel method to detect concrete cracks …

Automatic detection and assessment of surface cracks are beneficial for understanding the
mechanical performance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). This study detects …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the applicability of the empirical mode
decomposition (EMD) for identifying structural damage caused by a sudden change of …

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 …

Time series models have been used to extract damage features in the measured structural
response. In order to better extract the sensitive features in the signal and detect structural …

In this article, multivariate empirical mode decomposition is proposed for damage
localization in structures using limited measurements. Multivariate empirical mode …

The problem of effective information extraction of dynamic signals is a key challenge of
vibration-based structural health monitoring. Traditional ensemble empirical mode …

Early damage detection not only improves the safety and reliability of structures but also
reduces maintenance cost. However, damage detection is difficult to implement in large …

As a part of a research project co-founded by the European Community, a series of 15
damage tests were performed on a prestressed concrete highway bridge in Switzerland. The …

The present paper deals with the application of unified particle swarm optimization (UPSO)
technique for solving crack assessment problems in frame like structures. UPSO is a scheme …
