Statistical methods for damage processes under cyclic load (B05)

The project develops statistical models and methods for fatigue damage processes in con¬crete structures including reinforced and prestressing steel. It relies, among others, on measurements of acoustic emission, and it aims to forecast failure as early and precisely as possible, in particular in the context of monitoring an existing highway bridge.
