The Effect of Stress Changes on Wave Velocity: Application of Stress Measurement in a Concrete Medium

The Dutch infrastructure counts many bridges, the majority of which are built in concrete. These bridges have been designed and constructed according to safety codes. A lot of these bridges date from the previous century and have been designed conform outdated safety codes. Therefore, the main problem<br/>of these bridges is the uncertainty with...

Application of coda-wave interferometry on concrete structures by utilizing smart aggregates

Coda wave interferometry is a technique used in the field of seismology, which utilizes the later part of the signal (coda) to detect subtle changes in a medium. In recent years, the application of coda wave interferometry to concrete structure has been assessed for structural health monitoring purposes. Smart aggregate is a sensor which...
