Abstract: The full-scale data measured from tall buildings and long-span bridges are usually nonstationary due to transient earthquake ground motion, sudden changes in wind speed and/or direction, or time-varying motion of vehicles. ...

Abstract: This study proposes a near-real-time hybrid framework for system identification (SI) of structures using data from structural health monitoring systems. To account for both stationary/weakly nonstationary response under ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of the damage caused by hurricanes making landfall to physical infrastructure relies on the accurate modeling of temporally and spatially varying wind fields. However, wind field measurements from past ...

Abstract: Coastal cities in the east and southeast regions of the US have seen significant population growth and economic development in the last 2 decades. As a result, urban infrastructure, populations, and economies are ...

Abstract: Measuring the dynamic displacements of a structure provides a comprehensive understanding of the structure, especially when subjected to different types of dynamic loading (i.e., wind, traffic, impact loads, blast ...

Abstract: Interpolation can be used to up-sample a sparsely recorded or simulated data set. Ideal interpolation models such as a Nyquist-bandlimited filter in the frequency domain and sinc function in the time domain are difficult ...

Abstract: This study proposes a generalized wind loading chain to describe a complete relationship among wind, force, and response induced by nonstationary wind events such as tropical storms or downbursts to complement the Davenport ...
