Study on the Changing Rules of Silty Clay’s Pore Structure under Freeze-Thaw Cycles by Zongfang Chen, Huie Chen, Jinfeng Li, Hui Li, Wenliang Ma

“…This study focused on seasonally frozen silty clay from Changchun, China, and conducted different freeze-thaw cyclic tests on remoulded soil samples, during which both freezing temperature and the number of freeze-thaw cycles were varied. The related data of pore structures under different test conditions were acquired through mercury injection porosimetry (MIP) tests, and the effects of the number of freeze-thaw cycles and freezing temperature on the change of the soil’s pore structure were investigated in detail in combination with fractal theory. …”

A structural health monitoring method proposal based on optical scanning and computational models by Wendy Flores-Fuentes, Ivan Yeniseysk Alba-Corpus, Oleg Sergiyenko, Julio C. Rodríguez-Quiñonez

“…The evaluation of such correlation is mandatory in order to verify if the observed bridge displacement is due to the nature of its operation or due to it is presenting structural damage. The proposed method is continuous structural health monitoring method, based on the combination of three approaches evaluated at laboratory environment: (1) a three-dimensional optical scanning system for displacement measurement, (2) a load measurement system for vehicle–bridge interaction assessment, and (3) a two-measurement systems data correlation; to be implemented in bridges at a real environment to collect their historical behavior. …”
