Early crack detection using modified spectral clustering method assisted with FE analysis for distress anticipation in cement-based composites

Abstract The present work reports an efficient way of capturing real-time crack propagation in concrete structures. The modified spectral analysis based algorithm and finite element modeling (FEM) were utilised for crack detection and quantitative analysis of crack propagation. Crack propagation was...
