Branko, the lead role and the second author of this paper has been in charge of data analysis of a 19storey tall building. Observation of the data from the instrumentation has over the years, convinced Branko that there is an ongoing differential settlement of one of the base columns, in apparent contrast with his initial expectations. This conclusion matured gradually not only as a consequence of the monitoring results, but also based on verbal information received from a design engineer. Thus, besides the quantitative data provided by the monitoring system, including in the data analysis algorithms the engineer’s knowledge and experience has also been of value. In this study we propose an approach based on Bayesian logic as an effective tool to allow such a blend of field knowledge and SHM results. We show how the whole cognitive process followed by Branko can be suitably reproduced using Bayesian logic. In particular, we discuss to what extent the prior knowledge and potential evidence from inspection, can alter a perception of building behavior based on SHM data alone.","PeriodicalId":340396,"journal":{"name":"SP-292: Structural Health Monitoring Technologies","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129322469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Distributed optical fiber sensing technologies have reached market maturity and opened new possibilities in structural health monitoring. Distributed strain sensor (sensing cable) is sensitive at each point of its length to strain changes and cracks. Such a sensor practically monitors one-dimensional strain field and can be installed over all the entire length of the monitored structural members, and therefore provides for integrity monitoring, i.e. for direct detection and characterization of local strain changes generated by damage (including recognition, localization, and quantification or rating). The aim of this paper is to help researchers and practitioners to get familiar with distributed sensing technologies, to understand the meaning of the distributed measurement, and to learn on best performances and limitations of these technologies. Hence, this paper briefly present light scattering as the main physical principles behind technologies, explains the spatial resolution as the important feature for interpretation of measurements, compares performances of various distributed technologies found in the market, and introduces the concept of integrity monitoring applicable to various concrete structures. Two illustrative examples are presented, including applications to pipeline and bridge.","PeriodicalId":340396,"journal":{"name":"SP-292: Structural Health Monitoring Technologies","volume":"13 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120896042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) doped with carbon black (CB) nano-particles are proposed as highly damage-tolerant materials whose electrical properties can be correlated to strain and cracking. This study investigated the effect of CB dosage on the CB-ECC rheological, mechanical and electrical properties. By incorporating CB nano-particles into the ECC system while simultaneously controlling the rheological properties of the fresh mix, the fully cured CB-ECC elements achieved close-to-uniform PVA fiber and carbon black dispersion, reduced bulk resistivity by an order of magnitude, strain hardening behavior with tensile strain capacity of 0.26 to 1.38%, and reduced crack widths of 30 to 40 m during tensile loading. Furthermore, all of the CB-ECC specimens exhibited prominent piezoresistive behavior with resistivity increasing in tandem with applied tensile strain, thereby indicating the potential of CB-ECC for strain and damage sensing.","PeriodicalId":340396,"journal":{"name":"SP-292: Structural Health Monitoring Technologies","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121059823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
