Abstract: A finite element based method for static parameter identification of structures is presented for the systematic identification of plate‐bending stiffness parameters for a one‐third scale, reinforced‐concrete pier‐deck ...

Abstract: A method for the parameter estimation of structures was developed in a companion paper. It used subsets of static applied forces and strain measurements and successfully identified structural element stiffnesses. In the ...

Abstract: A method for structural parameter identification utilizing elemental strain measurements is presented. By using a subset of applied static forces and a subset of measured strains, element stiffness parameters of all or a ...

Abstract: Recent research on structural health monitoring has shown the applicability of Kalman filtering for fusion of models and data of dynamic systems. In this study, the augmented Kalman filter (AKF) is combined with a ...

Abstract: In recent years, the construction of the overtrack building complexes including offices, schools, residences, stores, and restaurants above metro depots has increased in China. Train-generated vibration transmits through ...

Abstract: Structural health monitoring using field measurements has developed into a major research area, responding to an increasing demand for evaluating the integrity of civil engineering structures. Model updating through parameter ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparison of three methods used to load rate the Powder Mill Bridge based on the load and resistance factor rating (LRFR) approach. This is a typical three-span continuous bridge with steel girders ...

Abstract: The results of experiments on a small scale steel frame model are presented to support the “displacement equation error function,”“displacement output error function,” and “strain output error function” methods of structural ...
