Damage Detection in High-Rise Buildings Using Damage-Induced Rotations

Damage Detection on Historical Buildings Using Unsupervised Classification Techniques

This paper describes a methodology for the documentation and analysis of historical buildings. Techniques of digital image processing give the possibility to detect damages, such as moisture or biological changes, on surfaces of monuments. Intensity data obtained from laser scanner equipment and colour information gathered with a digital camera were evaluated for damage identification that affe...

Damage Detection in Beam-like Structures using Finite Volume Method

In this paper the damage location in beam like-structure is determined using static and dynamic data obtained using finite volume method. The change of static and dynamic displacement due to damage is used to establish an indicator for determining the damage location. In order to assess the robustness of the proposed method for structural damage detection, three test examples including a static...

Damage Detection in Post-tensioned Slab Using 2D Wavelet Transforms

Earthquake force, loading more than structural capacity, cracking, material fatigue and the other unpredicted events were undeniable in the structure life cycle in order that environmental conditions of the structure would be changed and treats health. Damage of structures such as crack, corrosion of the post tension cables from inappropriate grouting of the post tension structures and etc. can...

Distribution of Building Nonstructural Components in Height Subjected to Cost of Damage for Low-Rise Office Buildings

Exceeded losses of nonstructural components from structural ones in most demolished buildings in previous earthquakes and its limitation on functionality of critical facilities and building serviceability after earthquakes should be got the point of view for accounting loss of building as a merit for building performance. This paper attempts to demonstrate the significant role of distribution p...
