Bolted joint are among the key components that enable the robust assembly of a wide
variety of structures. However, due to wear and tear over time, bolted joint may loosen, and if …

In this paper, a piezoelectric impedance frequency shift method is developed to estimate the
bolt preload for the detection of bolt looseness in engineering structures. An experimental …

The ability to monitor the strength development of early-age concrete is an important
capability in the laboratory and in the field. Accurate and reliable in situ measurements can …

As concrete is one of the most common material used in the construction industry, it is
essential to monitor and predict the strength development during curing/hydration process in …

The stiffness and strength properties of freshly poured concrete develop over time as the
concrete hardens due to curing. The monitoring of such properties therefore enables timely …
