  2. 1. Dying to make a fresh start : mortality and health transition in a new South Africa

    Author : Kathleen Kahn; Anneli Ivarsson; Stig Wall; Michel Garenne; Debbie Bradshaw; Vinod Diwan; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; age-specific mortality; agincourt; demographic surveillance system; epidemiologic transition; health transition; mortality trends; rural; South Africa; verbal autopsy; vital registration.; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Rationale: Vital registration is lacking in developing settings where health and development problems are most pressing. Policy-makers confront an “information paradox”: the critical need for information on which to base priorities and monitor progress, and the profound shortage of such information. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges : Data-based damage detection method using Machine Learning

    Author : Ana C. Neves; Raid Karoumi; Elsa Caetano; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Health Monitoring; damage detection; Machine Learning; data-based methods; Artificial Neural Networks; Value of Information; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : Civil engineering structures built according to modern codes are designed for a service life of normally more than 100 years. At the same time, there is a growing pressure to keep existing aged structures in service despite the fact that they have reached the original designed lifetime, with bridges being a good example of this.

  5. 3. Structural health monitoring using modern sensor technology : long-term monitoring of the New Årsta Railway Bridge

    Author : Merit Enckell; Håkan Sundqvist; Daniele Inaudi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Health Monitoring; bridges; sensory technology; fibre optics; concrete.; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a helpful tool for engineers in order to control and verify the structural behaviour. SHM also guides the engineers and owners of structures in decision making concerning the maintenance, economy and safety of structures. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges : Model-free damage detection method using Machine Learning

    Author : Cláudia Neves; Raid Karoumi; John Leander; Ignacio Gonzalez; Eleni Chatzi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Health Monitoring; Machine Learning; Damage detection; Model-free based method; Artificial Neural Networks; Gaussian Process; Cost optimization; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    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

  7. 5. Civil structural health monitoring : strategies, methods and applications

    Author : Arvid Hejll; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a Civil Structural Health Monitoring (CSHM) method for assessment of civil structures by using a combination of advanced monitoring equipment with probabilistic based assessment. The numbers of civil structures such as bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, dams, etc. READ MORE
