Steel-reinforced concrete decks are prominently utilized in various civil structures such as bridges and railways, where they susceptible to unforeseen impact forces during their operational lifespan. The precise identification of the events holds a pivotal role robust health monitoring these structures. However, direct measurement is not usually possible due structural limitations that restrict arbitrary sensor placement. To address this challenge, inverse emerges plausible solution, albeit afflicted by issue ill-posedness. In tackling ill-conditioned challenges, iterative regularization technique known Landweber method proves valuable. This leads more reliable accurate solution compared with traditional methods it is, additionally, suitable for large-scale problems alleviated computation burden. paper employs perform comprehensive force encompassing localization time–history reconstruction. incorporation low-pass filter within Landweber-based procedure proposed augment reconstruction process.

In recent decades, structural health monitoring (SHM) has gained increased importance for ensuring the sustainability and serviceability of large complex structures. To design an SHM system that delivers optimal outcomes, engineers must make decisions on numerous specifications, including sensor types, numbers, placements, as well data transfer, storage, analysis techniques. Optimization algorithms are employed to optimize settings, such configuration, significantly impact quality information density captured and, hence, performance. Optimal placement (OSP) is defined sensors results in least amount cost while meeting predefined performance requirements. An optimization algorithm generally finds “best available” values objective function, given a specific input (or domain). Various algorithms, from random search heuristic have been developed by researchers different purposes, OSP. This paper comprehensively reviews most The article focuses following: (I) definition all its components, systems damage detection methods, (II) problem formulation OSP current (III) introduction their (IV) how various existing methodologies can be applied methods. Our comprehensive comparative review revealed applying systems, use OSP, derive solution, become increasingly common resulted development sophisticated methods tailored SHM. also demonstrates these using artificial intelligence (AI), highly accurate fast at solving problems.

The concept of digital twins (DT)s enhances traditional structural health monitoring (SHM) by integrating real-time data with models for predictive maintenance and decision-making whilst combined finite element modelling (FEM). However, the computational demand FE necessitates surrogate performance, alongside requirement inverse analysis to infer overall behaviour via measured response a structure. A FEM-based machine learning (ML) model is an ideal option in this context, as it can be trained perform those calculations instantly based on FE-based training data. performance depends ML architecture. In light, current study investigates three distinct DTs. It was identified that all demonstrated strong tree-based outperforming neural network (NN) model. highest accuracy random forest (RF) error 0.000350, lowest inference time observed XGBoost algorithm, which at approximately 1 millisecond. By leveraging capabilities ML, FEM, DTs, presents solution implementing DTs advance functionalities SHM systems.

Numerous existing structures, both old and new, have serious load-bearing capacity issues, which, in some cases, could endanger the safety of their users. In fact, we can say that these structures are nearing (or already reached) end useful lives, necessitating need to find technical financial solutions renovate them as efficiently possible. Many reinforced concrete bridges experience advanced states deterioration a result extended exposure hostile environments or even continuously rising use loads. Additionally, since time construction, standards used for design dimensioning had be updated. As result, structural components still do not adhere response it is frequently less expensive reinforce buildings than perform full reconstruction, especially now that, thanks technological advancements, variety reinforcement techniques available costs decreasing. One such technique involves externally reinforcing elements with composite materials because superior strength-to-weight ratio resistance abrasion. utilized column containment well shear bending beams. This study aims evaluate impact glass fibers on general behavior concrete, particular its resistance, deformations, ductility, using FRP: Fiber-reinforced plastics generally formed two main distinct elements: fiber, "made from glass," matrix, "an epoxy resin allows transfer loads between fibers. The results specimens' cyclic loading tests attest significance contribution specimen confinement FRP make terms deformation compression after completion static tests. However, ability withstand unloading cycles reveal very significant improvement.
