Routine bridge inspections usually consist of visual observations. These inspections are time-consuming and subjective. There is a need to identify new inspection techniques for infrastructure that reduce traffic disturbance, ...

The need for better natural resource use is currently increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. ...

When in use, reinforced concrete bridge structures not only experience high-frequency fatigue loading caused by passing vehicles, but also suffer from the effects of a corrosive environment. In addition to fatigue damage ...

The need to optimize investments in bridge maintenance has created a demand for improved bridge management systems (BMS). Outdated practices in bridge inspection and constant advances in information technology have also ...

Fibre reinforced polymers may be suggested as a solution to one of the major durability problems with reinforced concrete; the corrosion of the internal steel reinforcement. The durability of fibre reinforced polymers, ...

Concrete subjected to freeze–thaw cycles action at early-age will suffer serious physical damage, resulting in degradation of the concrete’s performance. The subsequent curing conditions after early-age freeze–thaw cycles ...

We consider generalized chessboard structures where the local conductivity takes two values 𝑎� and 𝑏�. All integer combinations of 𝑎� and 𝑏� which make the components of effective conductivity matrix integer valued are ...

Since 2017, observations of ice conditions have been made in the northern Norwegian fjord, Beisfjord, to better understand the mechanisms of ice formation and variability in ice thickness, crystallography, and properties ...
