Multimodal Imaging Of Structural Concrete Using Image Fusion And Deep Learning, Sina Mehdinia
Multimodal Imaging Of Structural Concrete Using Image Fusion And Deep Learning, Sina Mehdinia
Dissertations and Theses
Concrete structures may be exposed to a variety of loads and environments during their service life. Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques can be helpful in evaluating the condition of a structure. Imaging provides a visual representation of the interior of concrete and its condition non-destructively. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and ultrasonic echo array (UEA) using electromagnetic and stress waves, respectively, provide the data that can be used to reconstruct an image. In this PhD dissertation, image reconstruction and fusion algorithms, simulation, and a deep learning model were investigated with the goal to lay the foundation for enhanced imaging applications for concrete. …
Evaluation Of Low And High Frequency Dynamic Response For Condition Assessment Of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Ali Hafiz
Dissertations and Theses
Concrete is widely used for civil infrastructure structures and they experience deterioration and degradation due to aging, increases in the traffic loads, harsher environmental conditions, use of deicing chemicals, etc. Therefore, evaluating the integrity of reinforced concrete structures has become of increasing interest for infrastructure owners and managers. A number of non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) methods have been developed in recent decades to aid in evaluating structures and provide input for asset management. One family of these methods uses the dynamic response of a structural member: stress waves (high frequency) and structural vibrations (low frequency). Both …
