Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the process of collecting, interpreting, and analysing
data from structures in order to determine its health status and the remaining life span …

This article presents the mechanical characterization of an eco composite consisting of a
thermoplastic matrix reinforced by flax fibres. Different configurations of specimens were …

A modification of the original b-value (Gutenberg-Richter parameter) is proposed to evaluate
local damage of reinforced concrete structures subjected to dynamical loads via the acoustic …

Since the interface is often regarded as the weakest part of the ballastless track structure,
there is a great need to investigate the interlayer bonding performance to ensure the safety …

As a new type of trenchless material, non-water reacting grouting polymer has been widely
used in the reinforcement and trenchless rehabilitation of concrete infrastructure …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used in strengthening of
existing concrete columns. However, the concrete cracks inside the FRP-strengthened …

This paper reports on the monotonic and cyclic bending behaviour and damage evolution of
steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), by three-point bending tests assessed with acoustic …

The acoustic emission (AE) technique allows monitoring damage in (reinforced) concrete in
a non-destructive way by means of piezoelectric sensors attached to the material surface …

The debonding between fabric and matrix/substrate hampers the strength and durability of
fiber-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) strengthened elements. One of the ways to …
