Abstract:Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to damage due to environmental loading and operational conditions. Early detection of damages in reinforced concrete structures is very important. However, this becomes difficult because failure at the micro level in the form of minute cracks, develops much earlier than the visual appearance of actual damages resulting out of coalesce of several such micro level damages. Vibration based damage detection techniques, particularly use of modal testing by exciting a str… Show more
