Abstract: Understanding expected structural behavior enables the early identification of potential structural issues or failure modes, allowing for timely intervention and maintenance. Guided by this premise, this paper proposes the ...

Abstract: The reliability of stay cables is critical to the safety of cable-stayed bridges. This paper investigates and compares reliability assessments of stay cables by using identified cable tension forces and monitored bridge ...

Abstract: Accurate deflection prediction of in-service bridges can be used to assess the overall structural stiffness and detect abnormal states in advance. The bridge structures, especially long-span bridges, experience varying ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques have been widely used in long-span bridges. However, due to limitations of computational ability and data analysis methods, the knowledge in massive SHM data is not well ...

Abstract: A new kind of passive mechanical damper, tuned liquid damper (TLD). is studied that relies upon the motion of shallow liquid in a rigid tank for changing the dynamic characteristics of a structure and dissipating its ...

Abstract: When monitoring structural data, incompleteness is a crucial issue that affects structural health monitoring (SHM). Information on displacement is particularly important for bridge state estimation, but it is difficult to ...

Abstract: The Stockbridge damper (SD) has been used for vibration mitigation of suspender cables subjected to vortex-induced and other types of resonant vibrations. This paper studies its effectiveness and robustness, as well as a ...

Abstract: This study presents a robot-assisted solution for the automated identification of bridge frequencies and high-spatial-resolution mode shapes using a minimal number of sensors. The proposed approach employs programmable ...
