Abstract: Over a bridge’s service life, physical damage, such as material deterioration, accidental impact, and overloading, can decrease its load-carrying capacity. To assess the integrity and serviceability of in-service bridges, ...

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: New techniques for both finite-element model updating and damage localization are presented using multiresponse nondestructive test (NDT) data. A new protocol for combining multiple parameter estimation algorithms for model ...

Abstract: The future of highway infrastructure in the United States is at a critical junction. Nearly one-third of U.S. bridges are nearing the end of their design life, and one in ten bridges is categorized as structurally deficient. ...
