In-situ Non-destructive Stiffness Assessment of FRC Materials

Fiber Reinforced Composite (FRC) materials are gaining great popularity in marine structures because of their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, low density, and provided freedom in the design process. However, the use of FRC materials comes along with relatively large uncertainties in material properties and structural integrity after...

The use of new data sources in bridge maintenance decision-making: On the effect of using new data sources during decision making moments of bridge maintenance experts through a serious game based experiment

The current practice of bridge maintenance decision-making is informed by subjective visual inspection data with a long time interval between measurements, which creates inefficiencies and possible loss of value in the maintenance entity’s capabilities. New opportunities from technology-related innovations for measurement devices are available...
