Developing a structural-health-monitoring model to monitor cracking in steel-free concrete deck slabs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ISIS Canada Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) program has focused on two main themes to improve civil engineering infrastructure, namely innovative construction technologies, and structural health monitoring (SHM). The former began with the construction of the first field application of the innovative steel-free concrete bridge deck slab technology at the Salmon River bridge, Nova Scotia, in 1995. Although this bridge has continued to function safely under heavy traffic loads, it has developed characteristic longitudinal cracking of the concrete between adjacent girders due to fatigue. This paper describes the recent research to develop an SHM model for monitoring the impact and stability of this cracking. Theoretical and experimental models were used to examine the change in response as cracking develops. A global load distribution matrix was proposed, and the variation in load distribution values with cracking was used to develop a cracking index that can be employed in monitoring the field structure.Key words: structural health monitoring, bridges, concrete, deck slabs, cracking, load distribution.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
