Abstract: Most of the vibration-based ambient modal identification methods in the literature are structured to process vibration data collected from a dense array of sensors centrally to yield modal information. For large systems, ...

Abstract: The nominal curvature method is one of the simplified methods for the second-order analysis of steel-RC columns in design codes. The two parameters that are important in the application of this method are the total curvature ...

Abstract: The most slender and flexible footbridges are stress ribbon bridges. One kind of these elegant and simple bridges consists of two hanging steel ribbons, usually made of steel, which carry concrete deck panels and are ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the use of kriging as a powerful tool for mode shape interpolation in flexible pedestrian bridges. Kriging can be used to interpolate a set of sparse mode shape coordinates obtained through experimental ...
