Technologies for the trenchless rehabilitation of pipelines using various types of coatings have been used for almost half a century. Considering that the assumed life expectancy of such renewed pipelines is 50 years, it will be necessary to assess their technical condition in the near future. The aim of this article is to attempt to answer the question "Do existing damage classification methods allow for the full and reliable assessment of the sewers already renewed with rehabilitation coatings?". The scope of the article, and its original part, is to describe how the problem of damage assessment of rehabilitation coatings has been included in various methods of classification of underground infrastructure pipelines, and conducting a comparison that compares these methods in terms of the damages described. An interpretation of the results of the research on rehabilitation coatings operated in various time periods, starting from those recently applied to those operating for over 30 years, was also made. The result of the analysis is to present the differences and deficiencies in the damage classification methods discussed.

Abstract Composite materials have tremendous and ever-increasing applications in complex engineering systems; thus, it is important to develop non-destructive and efficient condition monitoring methods to improve damage prediction, thereby avoiding catastrophic failures and reducing standby time. Nondestructive condition monitoring techniques when combined with machine learning applications can contribute towards the stated improvements. Thus, the research question taken into consideration for this paper is “Can machine learning techniques provide efficient damage classification of composite materials to improve condition monitoring using features extracted from acousto-ultrasonic measurements?” In order to answer this question, acoustic-ultrasonic signals in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites for distinct damage levels were taken from NASA Ames prognostics data repository. Statistical condition indicators of the signals were used as features to train and test four traditional machine learning algorithms such as K-nearest neighbors, support vector machine, Decision Tree and Random Forest, and their performance was compared and discussed. Results showed higher accuracy for Random Forest with a strong dependency on the feature extraction/selection techniques employed. By combining data analysis from acoustic-ultrasonic measurements in composite materials with machine learning tools, this work contributes to the development of intelligent damage classification algorithms that can be applied to advanced online diagnostics and health management strategies of composite materials, operating under more complex working conditions.

Nonlinear time history analysis (NTHA) is an important engineering method in order to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of buildings under earthquake loads. However, it is time consuming and requires complex calculations and a high memory machine. In this study, two networks were used for damage classification: multiclass support vector machine (M-SVM) and combination of multilayer perceptron neural network with M-SVM (MM-SVM). In order to collect data, three frames ofR/Cslab column frame buildings with wide beams in slab were considered. For NTHA, twenty different ground motion records were selected and scaled to ten different levels of peak ground acceleration (PGA). Thus, 600 obtained data from the numerical simulations were applied to M-SVM and MM-SVM in order to predict the global damage classification of samples based on park and Ang damage index. Amongst the four different kernel tricks, the Gaussian function was determined as an efficient kernel trick using the maximum total accuracy method of test data. By comparing the obtained results from M-SVM and MM-SVM, the total classification accuracy of MM-SVM is more than M-SVM and it is accurate and reliable for global damage classification ofR/Cslab column frames. Furthermore, the proposed combined model is able to classify the classes with low members.

Abstract. After a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis, rescue forces and relief organisations are dependent on fast, area-wide and accurate information on the damage caused to infrastructure and the situation on the ground. This study focuses on the assessment of building damage levels on optical satellite imagery with a two-step ensemble model performing building segmentation and damage classification trained on a public dataset. We provide an extensive generalization study on pre- and post-disaster data from the passage of the cyclone Idai over Beira, Mozambique, in 2019 and the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, in 2020. Critical challenges are addressed, including the detection of clustered buildings with uncommon visual appearances, the classification of damage levels by both humans and deep learning models, and the impact of varying imagery acquisition conditions. We show promising building damage assessment results and highlight the strong performance impact of data pre-processing on the generalization capability of deep convolutional models.
