Abstract:

A quantitative damage assessment methodology for composite materials has been achieved using Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA). The TSA technique provides fullfield data which is collected in a non-contacting and real time manner. The damage assessment methodology proposed requires a means of calibrating and temperature correcting the thermoelastic signal; these are developed and presented in this thesis. The thermoelastic theory for calibrating thermoelastic data from orthotropic bodies has traditionally been based on a stress formulation. There are difficulties in calibrating orthotropic m

This thesis presents three methods to estimate and locate damage in framed buildings, simply-supported beams and cantilever structures, based on experimental measurements of their fundamental vibration modes. Numerical simulations and experimental essays were performed to study the effectiveness of each method. A numerical simulation of a multi-storey framed building, a real bridge and a real chimney were carried out to study the effectiveness of the methodologies in identifying damage. The influence of measurement errors and noise in the modal data was studied in all cases. To validate the ex

Vibration-based damage identification (VBDI) techniques have been developed in part to address the problems associated with an aging civil infrastructure. To assess the potential of VBDI as it applies to highway bridges in Iowa, three applications of VBDI techniques were considered in this study: numerical simulation, laboratory structures, and field structures. VBDI techniques were found to be highly capable of locating and quantifying damage in numerical simulations. These same techniques were found to be accurate in locating various types of damage in a laboratory setting with actual struct

Many methods have been developed and studied to detect damage through the change of dynamic response of a structure. Due to its capability to recognize pattern and to correlate non-linear and non-unique problem, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have received increasing attention for use in detecting damage in structures based on vibration modal parameters. Most successful works reported in the application of ANN for damage detection are limited to numerical examples and small controlled experimental examples only. This is because of the two main constraints for its practical application in det

Existing methods of evaluating the structural system of a building after a seismic event consist of removing architectural elements such as drywall, cladding, insulation, and fireproofing. This method is destructive and costly in terms of downtime and repairs. This research focuses on removing the guesswork by using forced vibration testing (FVT) to experimentally determine the health of a building. The experimental structure is a one-story, steel, bridge-like structure with removable braces. An engaged brace represents a nominal and undamaged condition; a dis-engaged brace represents a brace

Abstract:

Major portion of hurricane-induced economic loss originates from damages to building structures. The damages on building structures are typically grouped into three main categories: exterior, interior, and contents damage. Although the latter two types of damages, in most cases, cause more than 50% of the total loss, little has been done to investigate the physical damage process and unveil the interdependence of interior damage parameters. Building interior and contents damages are mainly due to wind-driven rain (WDR) intrusion through building envelope defects, breaches, and other functional

In identifying damage in structural points, generic joint elements with only translational degrees of freedom are defined to parameterize the stiffness

The classical theory of poroelasticity developed by Biot (1941) deals with the time-dependent response of the fluid-saturated porous media derived from the coupling of the mechanical deformations and the deformations of pore fluid. The classical theory of poroelasticity has been successfully applied to a range of problems of interest to geomechanics and biomechanics. The brittle poroelastic media can experience alterations in poroelasticity properties resulting from the generation and/or growth of micro-defects. The effects can be modelled by appeal to continuum damage mechanics. Damage

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the development of a new method for the continuous<p>monitoring of civil engineering structures in order to locate small damages automatically. A<p>review of the very wide literature on Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) points first out that<p>the methods can be grouped in four categories based on their need or not of a numerical model,<p>as well as their need or not of information of the damaged structure to be applied. This state<p>of the art of the SHM methods highlights the requirement to reach each levels of SHM, which<p>is in particular for the localization of sma

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2001.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 145-149).<br>Large earthquakes have the potential of causing extensive damage and enormous economic losses. These losses are primarily attributable to the reduction in functionality of various facilities in the affected region and the rebuilding costs, and can be reduced through strategic pre- and post-earthquake decisions. This thesis describes an integrated methodology to estimate losses due to scenario earthquakes, with emphasis on the redu

Abstract:

Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2014.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (page 77).<br>Because the ocean level keeps rising and because hurricanes and storms become increasingly destructive in terms of damage and economic loss, the built environment has become very vulnerable to floods. Every city is building a resilient plan to decrease its vulnerability. However, the studies are often reduced to case studies and if engineers manage to build smarter, to upgrade or strengthen
