Abstract

Examines automated methods of monitoring deterioration in concrete structures. The results from monitoring can be used to predict service life and for comparison of actual with design predicted behaviour. Automation can reduce access needs and highlight potential problems early. Aspects that can be monitored include structural change, corrosion of reinforcement, concrete temperature and moisture content. Also discusses obstacles in using automatic monitoring including accuracy, incompatibility of data used in models and what can be monitored.
