1. Towards frost damage prediction in asphaltic pavements
Abstract : Roads are subjected to mechanical loads from the traffic as well as deteriorating mechanisms originating from the surrounding environment and climate. The damage arising is particularly severe during the winter season, when for example raveling, pot holes and cracks can emerge on the surfaces of asphaltic roads. READ MORE

2. Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges : Model-free damage detection method using Machine Learning
Abstract : This is probably the most appropriate time for the development of robust and reliable structural damage detection systems as aging civil engineering structures, such as bridges, are being used past their life expectancy and beyond their original design loads. Often, when a significant damage to the structure is discovered, the deterioration has already progressed far and required repair is substantial. READ MORE

3. Analysis of Excavation Damage, Rock Mass Characterisation and Rock Support Design using Drilling Monitoring
Abstract : Prior to an underground excavation a site investigation is carried out. This includes reviewing and analysing existing data, field data collected through outcrop mapping, drill core logging and geophysical investigations. READ MORE

4. Plasticity and Damage Mechanics for Modeling Concrete Failure
Abstract : Concrete structures exhibit strongly non-linear and complex mechanical behavior. Hence, they are nowadays often analyzed by means of the finite element method, whereby a realistic description of the material behavior is decisive for the validity of the results. READ MORE

5. A ground-borne noise prediction model for railway traffic in tunnels in bedrock
Abstract : Human life has become more manageable by the expansion of railway lines. However, despite providing convenience, railways increase noise and vibration in residential areas. Vibrations and noise generated by railways may harm human health, cause cosmetic damage and have an adverse impact on the environment. READ MORE
