Environmental effects on subsurface defect detection in concrete structures using infrared thermography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Deterioration of concrete due to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcing bars and prestressing strands represent a significant challenge for inspection and maintenance engineers. Cracking, delaminations and spalling that ...
Guideline for implementing quality control and quality assurance for bridge inspection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Structurally deficient bridges are becoming more and more prevalent. The need to identify and correct these deficiencies is becoming increasingly apparent. This task is assigned to bridge inspections. With such a critical ...
Remote health monitoring for asset management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This project explored the development of real-time monitoring technology to be used for effective asset management. There is a critical need to develop technologies to assess and monitor the condition of these bridges over ...
Long-term sensing system for bridge piers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Structural instability of bridge piers resulting from scour or other natural hazards can lead to bridge collapse. As a result, a method of monitoring bridge piers is needed to evaluate long-term changes in structural ...
Condition assessment of carbon fiber composites using raman spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The goal of this research is to examine the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a method of condition assessment for carbon fiber composite materials. Carbon fiber composites are used in high performance situations such as ...
