@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009832, title = {A Procedure for Post-Earthquake Damage Estimation Based on Detection of High-Frequency Transients}, author = {Aleksandar Zhelyazkov and Daniele Zonta and Helmut Wenzel and Peter Furtner}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In the current research structural health monitoring is considered for addressing the critical issue of post-earthquake damage detection. A non-standard approach for damage detection via acoustic emission is presented - acoustic emissions are monitored in the low frequency range (up to 120 Hz). Such emissions are termed high-frequency transients. Further a damage indicator defined as the Time-Ratio Damage Indicator is introduced. The indicator relies on time-instance measurements of damage initiation and deformation peaks. Based on the time-instance measurements a procedure for estimation of the maximum drift ratio is proposed. Monitoring data is used from a shaking-table test of a full-scale reinforced concrete bridge pier. Damage of the experimental column is successfully detected and the proposed damage indicator is calculated.}, journal = {International Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering}, volume = {12}, number = {11}, year = {2018}, pages = {1135 - 1141}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009832}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/143}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 143, 2018}, }
