Abstract: An input-output relation for the nonstationary response of long-span bridges subjected to random differential support motions is proposed in the present study. The proposed methodology is more general than the existing ...

Abstract: An investigation into the frequency nonstationarity in the response of primary-secondary (P-S) systems and the impact it could have in the analysis of such structures has been presented in this note. For this purpose, a ...

Abstract: This work proposes an efficient identification scheme for simultaneous input and parameter estimation of the hysteretic systems. For this purpose, a quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC)-simulation-based approach is adopted, where the ...
