The present work presents an experimental study on the behavior of ceramic tile rendering build on concrete block masonry walls loaded to compression failure. The walls were tested considering two different coating systems: a) direct application of adhesive mortar and lastly the ceramic tile; b) with cement plaster followed by the adhesive mortar and finally the ceramic tile. Four events were recorded: noise emission, plaster detachment, ceramic tile detachment and wall rupture. For both coating ...

This publication presents a digital image correlation (DIC) based technique applied to a shear test on a carbon-reinforced concrete member. DIC methods are based on image sequences where the first image is recorded under zero-load without deformations while further images are taken from deformed stages. The image processing starts with the computation of subpixel-precise displacement vector fields using photogrammetric image matching algorithms. In our method, instead of computing strains, another ...

To improve the algorithm efficiency, the element compensation method and sliced polygon forming method are presented. The image quality is improved greatly by the hybrid rendering of both the volume data and geometric surfaces. We also integrate a volume cutting method with arbitrary convex polyhedron into the volume rendering pipeline. This offers the user more flexibility to explore the ...

Precast concrete (PC) members are currently being employed for general construction or partial replacement to reduce construction period. As assembly work in PC construction requires connecting PC members accurately, measuring the 6-DOF (degree of freedom) relative displacement is essential. Multiple planar markers and camera-based displacement measurement systems can monitor the 6-DOF relative displacement of PC members. Conventional methods, such as direct linear transformation (DLT) for homography ...
