Abstract
We examine the use of ordinary steel and concrete strain
gauges to monitor the dynamic response of RC slabs excited
in non-destructive vibrational testing. Plots of measured
dynamic strains in the embedded steel reinforcement bars
and on the concrete surface, as well as of mid-span
deflection, are presented at different levels of load-induced
damage. The plots show unique strain and deflection
signatures that vary with the internal state of the slab, and
could be used for residual strength identification. It is
feasible that the techniques outlined could be used in AI-based
evaluation tools for RC slabs and other RC structures.
