Description:: This thesis summarized the qualification and testing of two commercial Autonomous Crack Monitoring (ACM) systems for use in measuring micrometer displacement of cracks. Qualification involved the assessment of both laboratory and field performance in a residential structure subjected to nearby quarry blasting for the production of roadway aggregate. Aggregate and...

Description:: The gradual evolution of the material properties of a cement-based material, i.e. the stiffness of cement paste, is the result of the continuous change of the microstructure with the progress of the hydration process. Based on an existing micromechanical model for the simulation of the shear and elastic modulus of...

Description:: This paper describes qualification of devices to measure sub micro-meter changes in crack width, which is the basis of autonomous crack monitoring for control of blasting vibrations. Performance of LVDT, eddy current and potentiometer sensors to monitor long-term and transient displacements will be described. Potentiometers are attractive for wireless measurement,...

Description:: This thesis consists of the data and analysis of structural responses for two different studies: the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) study of the velocity response of “atypical” residential structures and the Autonomous Crack Monitoring (ACM) study. The main basis of this thesis was to do additional analysis on a...

Description:: Autonomous Crack Measurement (ACM) facilitates simultaneous measurement of crack response to environmental changes and vibrations produced by various construction activities. Dual-purpose crack displacement sensors measure crack response, while the vibration environment is defined by standard seismological transducers and the weather environment is defined as changes in temperature and humidity. This...

Description:: Cosmetic cracks are very common in structures, and most of the time they remain unnoticed and do not decrease the structural integrity. Although these cracks are unremarkable and barely noticeable, occupants become concerned about these cracks when construction occurs nearby. In order to investigate the true nature of these cracks,...
