“…can be effective if the damage location is known a priori, what cannot be expected in most civil engineering structures (Wang et al 2011). Therefore, the global techniques are, firstly, developed to detect the presence of damage and estimate damage location (Cornwell et al 1999;Li et al 2002;Choi et al 2004;Garstecki et al 2004;Štimac Grandić et al 2009;Abdo 2012). Secondly, many global NDDT are able to estimate severity of damage at damage location (Chen, Bicanic 2000;Nicholson, Alnefaie 2000;Kim et al 2006;Štimac Grandić, Grandić 2010;Wang 2013;Fayyadha, Razaka 2013).…”
