The durability of concrete has attracted significant attention over the past several decades
and is still a research hotspot until now. This paper reviews and discusses recent research …

Monitoring corrosion in reinforced concrete is critical to assess the health condition of
structures at an early stage and enable effective and efficient asset management. Various …

Rock bolts have been widely used as rock reinforcing members in underground coal mine
roadways and tunnels. Failures of rock bolts occur as a result of overloading, corrosion …

Displacement measurements are of significant importance in a variety of critical scientific
and engineering fields, such as gravitational wave detection, geophysical research, and …

Rock reinforcement design necessitates a clear understanding of the initiation and
propagation of cracks in the bolting system. To better understand the mechanism, we …

Rock bolts are the devices that used to reinforce the rock masses in mining tunnels and
underground excavation structures. The loading level of the rock bolt indicates the …

Real-time assessment of slope reinforcements to diagnose their state in all stages of service
life is imperative for prompt evaluation of slope stability and establishing an efficient early …

The time-dependent behavior and long-term stability of deep-buried tunnels in soft rocks
have received lots of considerations in tunnel engineering and allied sciences. To better …

A roof fall hazard is still one of the major threats in the underground mining industry. Each
such type of event always brings great risk to miners and causes serious interruptions in the …

In this paper, a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is configured to
demodulate dynamic spectral shifts of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) dynamic strain sensor …
