The constructed bridges exposed to various environmental conditions deteriorate all along their service life. One such degradation is corrosion, which can cause significant damage if it occurs on the main structural components, such as prestressing tendons. In this study, a novel non-destructive evaluation method to incorporate a movable yoke system with denoising algorithm based on kernel principal component analysis is developed and applied to identify the loss of cross-sectional area in corroded external prestressing tendons. The proposed method using denoised output voltage signals obtained from the measuring device appears to be a reliable and precise monitoring system to detect corrosion with less than 3% sectional loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20215984","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,22]],"date-time":"2020-10-22T20:51:00Z","timestamp":1603399860000},"page":"5984","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Corrosion Detection in PSC Bridge Tendons Using Kernel PCA Denoising of Measured MFL Signals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Chang Kook","family":"Oh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Kookmin University, Seoul 02707, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Changbin","family":"Joh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infrastructure Safety Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung Woo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infrastructure Safety Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kwang-Yeun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infrastructure Safety Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Nilson, A.H.
