This paper describes the details of installation and operation of a commercially- available wireless system to measure response of an interior cosmetic crack in a residential structure over a period of a year. Wireless data loggers managed the response of low power draw potentiometers that measured micrometer changes in crack...
The purpose of this comparative field qualification is to demonstrate the new Kelunji EchoPro
hybrid ACSM system and its performance relative to the eDAQ and eko Motes systems. These three
systems are installed at a test site in Sycamore, IL, adjacent to an active quarry. Data for this report was...
Despite a relatively mature technology for its control, corrosion caused by stray current from electrified rapid-transit systems costs the United States approximately $500 million annually. Part of that cost is the result of corrosion of the electrified rapid-transit system itself, and part is the result of corrosion on neighboring infrastructure...
This technical report shows the findings of acoustic emission and strain gage monitoring tests conducted by research engineers of Infrastructure Technology Institute from Northwestern University on April 18, 1997 in Sacramento, California.
Scour is by far the primary cause of bridge failures in the United States. Scour and other hydraulic effects are particularly threatening because the deterioration is often invisible, hidden beneath turbid water. Many scour monitoring methods attempt to measure the development of scour pockets themselves. However, this is difficult due...
