Abstract: Estimation of modal parameters from ambient response measurements is a central task in structural health monitoring and rapid condition assessment of structures after natural disasters or other damaging events. This task ...

Abstract: The existing wood-diaphragm-to-masonry-wall connections in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings provided very little or insufficient resistance in past earthquakes. Recent strengthening techniques for the connections between ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) is critical in identifying the degradation of infrastructure systems to ensure structural integrity and safety. Vibration-based SHM approaches, including numerical-physics-based modeling ...
