DOI: 10.1016/j.jsv.2016.06.039
Abstract: Abstract Scour around bridge foundations is regarded as one of the predominant causes of bridge failures. The concept of vibration-based real-time bridge scour detection has been explored in recent years by investigating the change in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-665x/aa71f9
Abstract: Scour is a major threat to bridge safety, especially in harsh fluvial environments. Real-time monitoring of bridge scour is still very limited due to the lack of robust and economic scour monitoring device. Time domain… read more here.
