Introducing deep learning algorithms into the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) has contributed to automatic extraction damage-sensitive features, but type and architecture these are still in dispute. This paper proposes a hybrid framework entitled time-distributed one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) long short-term memory (LSTM) model, which utilizes raw multisensor time histories detect damages. Using sliding window that moves along temporal dimension, data...

Abstract Concrete is one of the most extensively utilized building materials that can be produced, and has potential to release a significant quantity CO 2 into environment. In this research, through studying lightweight (LW) concrete, attempts are made produce environmentally friendly LW concrete with high strength using nanosilica rather than part cement waste glass powder instead aggregates. Recycled polypropylene fibers used increase concrete’s compressive nonlinear behavior. The use was...
