Numerical 3D finite element (FE) analyses allows the engineers to perform more accurate
and detailed analyses, compared to the traditional design methods. Today, FE-analyses are …

This paper presents the first application of the Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) in non-
stationary conditions within a hydropower plant powerhouse. The aim of this research is to …

During its lifetime, a concrete structure is subjected to many different actions, ranging from
mechanical loads to environmental actions. To accurately predict its integrity from casting …

Cracks and cracking in concrete dams can give a need to determine the current status from
a dam safety perspective and an estimation on remaining service-life taking the cracks in to …

With the societal demand for sustainability and the increasing age of infrastructure, a crucial
task for the civil engineering community is to improve the durability of concrete structures …

With monitoring of dynamic properties of dams we can continuously observe the ageing
process of the structure, while by vibration monitoring we can estimate the condition of the …
