However, it is not easy to detect tendon damage in real time. This study proposes a novelty detection approach for damage to the tendons of PSC bridges based on a convolutional autoencoder (CAE). The proposed method employs simulation data from nine accelerometers. The accuracies of CAEs for multi-vehicle are 79.5%\u201385.8% for 100% and 75% damage severities with all error levels and 50% damage severity without error. However, the accuracies for 50% damage severity with 5% and 10% error levels drop to 69.4%\u201373.3%. The accuracies of CAEs for single-vehicle ranges from 90.1%\u201395.1% for all damage severities and error levels that are satisfactory. The findings indicate that the CAE approach for multi-vehicle can be effective when the damages are severe, but not when moderate. Meanwhile, if acceleration data can be obtained for single-vehicle, then the CAE approach can provide a highly accurate and robust method of tendon damage detection in PSC bridges in use, even if the measurement errors are significant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19071633","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,5]],"date-time":"2019-04-05T11:36:01Z","timestamp":1554464161000},"page":"1633","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["A Novelty Detection Approach for Tendons of Prestressed Concrete Bridges Based on a Convolutional Autoencoder and Acceleration Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5199-0946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kanghyeok","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seunghoo","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Ulsan 44919, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7737-1892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sung-Han","family":"Sim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Ulsan 44919, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1895-5529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Do Hyoung","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Inha University, Incheon 22212, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2018, October 05).
