In recent years, electrical tomography, namely, electrical resistance tomography (ERT), has emerged as a viable approach to detecting, localizing and reconstructing structural cracking patterns in concrete structures. High-fidelity ERT reconstructions, however, often require computationally expensive optimization regimes and complex constraining and regularization schemes, which impedes pragmatic implementation in Structural Health Monitoring frameworks. To address this challenge, this article proposes the use of predictive deep neural networks to directly and rapidly solve an analogous ERT inverse problem. Specifically, the use of cross-entropy loss is used in optimizing networks forming a nonlinear mapping from ERT voltage measurements to binary probabilistic spatial crack distributions (cracked/not cracked). In this effort, artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks are first trained using simulated electrical data. Following, the feasibility of the predictive networks is tested and affirmed using experimental and simulated data considering flexural and shear cracking patterns observed from reinforced concrete elements.
