Elimination of traffic induced operational variability with Robust Principal Component Analysis (rPCA)

Regular maintenance of civil engineering structures is essential for their safety. Current maintenance regimes involve periodic inspections at regular time intervals. In the time between inspections, there can be a critical development in the structural integrity of a structure, which can be expensive to repair or could even lead to structural...

Vibration-based Monitoring of the Zwartewaterbrug: a Machine Learning Approach

In the Netherlands there are many bridges that crosses waterways, which are key nodes in the transportation system. The safety and integrity of these bridges is nowadays assessed by (visual) inspections at regular intervals. This approach cannot provide information about damage development in between inspections, leading to potential failure or...

Structural Health Monitoring of the Zwartewaterbrug Bridge

Vibration-based structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures is receiving increasing attention in recent years. This is due to the development of more robust system identification techniques as well as improvements with regard to the practicality of installing the necessary instrumentation. Health monitoring systems are more...
