Comparing the stretching technique and the wavelet cross-spectrum technique for measuring stress-induced wave-velocity changes in concrete

Coda wave interferometry (CWI) holds promise as a technique for concrete stress monitoring. This is because the coda, which consists of multiply scattered arrivals, is the result of propagation through the medium over large distances. As such, it is sensitive to both minute structural changes and small velocity changes in that medium....

Topography studies of concrete abraded with ice

Topography studies of concrete-ice abrasion were made to proceed in our understanding of the mechanisms of concrete wear by ice on Arctic offshore structures. The effects on various initial surfaces of a B75 normal-weight concrete (smooth, rough, sawn) and on the sawn surface of a LB60 lightweight concrete were studied during concrete-ice...
