Concrete cover has an important role in reinforced concrete (RC) structures because it protects reinforcement bars from the bad effects of weather, fire, and environmental conditions that cause corrosion reinforcements. Although is essential parameter to be considered for structural health monitoring (SHM), its detection by infrared thermography, especially heating phase, not been accessed yet....

The durability of concrete structures is a major issue in civil engineering. Cover concrete monitoring is particularly important as it is in direct contact with the outside. High frequency surface waves (50-200 kHz) are adapted to provide information about this part of concrete, since they investigate materials at a depth close to the wavelength. The high degree of heterogeneities in concrete i...

Environmental remote sensing is dominated by land use and land cover classifications. Different land cover features reflect electromagnetic radiation in different ways and remotely sensed images provide a basic and synoptic representation of land cover variation on the Earth’s surface. The pixel based analysis has been ‘the holy grail’ for many years. Land-based features may be categorized acco...
