Abstract: This paper discusses the application of system identification of a highway bridge using finite-element method and ambient-vibration testing. The posttensioned Gülburnu Highway Bridge located on the Giresun-Espiye state ...

Abstract: This paper describes an arch type steel footbridge, its analytical modeling, modal testing, finite-element model updating, and dynamic analysis. A modern steel footbridge which has an arch type structural system and is ...

Abstract: Continuous health monitoring and regular condition assessment is of vital importance for engineering structures in general and especially for arch dams. These structures can be exposed to many different loads such as ...

Abstract: Using experimental methods, this study presents the estimation of the dynamic and static (secant) elasticity modules of a prototype arch dam. These experimental methods are ambient vibration tests, uniaxial compression ...

Abstract: The investigation of dynamic response for civil engineering structures largely depends on a detailed understanding of their dynamic characteristics, such as the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping ratios. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analytical modeling, modal testing, and finite-element model updating for a two-span masonry arch bridge. An Ottoman masonry arch bridge built in the 19th century and located at Camlihemsin, Rize, ...

Abstract: Kömürhan Highway Bridge is a reinforced concrete box girder bridge located on the 51st km of Elazığ–Malatya Highway over the Fırat River. Because of the fact that the Kömürhan Bridge is the only bridge in this part of ...

Abstract: This technical note presents an investigation about the changing of dynamic characteristics of an arch dam model before and after strengthening considering reservoir water. To this end, an arch dam-reservoir-foundation ...
