ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Within the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) “Live CycleAssessment of Structures via Monitoring” at the Technical University Braunschweig funded by the German Research Foundation, several projects are dealing with the monitoring of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures: development and testing of new sensors for concrete degradation and for corrosion and fracture of prestressing elements, of adaptive prognostic models for concrete degradation and of a reliability-based system assessment tool.
