Abstract: This study deals with a method to identify structural damage using the combined finite element method and the advanced uniform microgenetic algorithm. The novelty of this study is the use of dynamic loading and its response ...

Abstract: A new refined nondestructive evaluation technique for concrete decks with arbitrary damage shapes is presented, and its utility in detecting the location and extent of the damage using only a single dynamic measurement ...

Abstract: The method for identifying arbitrary stiffness reduction in damaged reinforced concrete slab bridges under moving loads is proposed and dynamic signals measured at several points are used as response data to reflect the ...
