The demand for improving the efficient management of maintenance systems has
continuously increased, and digital twins (DTs) are expected to innovatively transform …

This paper aims to study the effects of spatial corrosion distribution and prestressing levels
on the structural performance of corroded prestressed concrete (PC) beams via …

The heritage of existing road infrastructures and in particular of bridges consists of structures
that are approaching or exceeding their designed service life. Detrimental causes such as …

In prestressed concrete (PC) bridges, high-strength prestressing steel plays a key role in the
flexural response of girders. In both pre-stressed and post-tensioned PC bridge girders …

Data-driven engineering is crucial for information delivery between design, fabrication,
assembly, and maintenance of prefabricated structures. Design for manufacturing and …

This study employed core specimens taken from a 24-year-old concrete bridge to investigate
the ITZ spatial variation. As the lowest hardness component in the concrete, the ITZ was …

Most of the existing engineering structures were built in the last century and have been in
service for decades. However, environmental degradation may lead to a reduction in …

Deteriorated facility maintenance is a critical social issue in advanced countries. Its cost
increases when considering the social consequences in terms of asset value and direct …

The evaluation of mechanical characteristics and degradation level of existing bridges is a
highly relevant topic today. This paper presents the initial phases of an integrated …

Structural health monitoring using various sensors has been widely employed to assess the
structural conditions of bridges. In addition, the concept of a digital twin was introduced …
