Safety, durability, and functionality of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks are critical for effective inspection and maintenance. The most popular technique is visual inspection (VI), but it is rather subjective and has not much ability to reveal subsurface defects like delamination and corrosion. To address these limitations, this study integrated non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, including Infrared Thermography (...

Megaprojects frequently face cost overruns, delays, and inefficiencies due to their complexity and multi-stakeholder dynamics. As large-scale infrastructure projects with significant economic and social impacts, they demand innovative solutions to enhance performance and sustainability. Lean Construction (LC) offers a promising approach to achieving these goals, yet its adoption remains limited by various barriers. While prior...

Acoustic sensing technology is a familiar approach to detect leakage in urban water networks. Critical issues like false alarms, difficult leak locations, missed leaks, unknown site conditions, and high repair costs are still prevalent. The situation warrants developing a more sophisticated and efficient leak detection approach in real water networks. Hydrophone based acoustic technology has a strong promise for high precision...
