Abstract: Model updating, the process of inferring a model from data, is prone to the adverse effects of modeling error, which is caused by simplification and idealization assumptions in the mathematical models. In this study, an ...

Abstract: In this paper, Bayesian linear finite-element (FE) model updating is applied for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in the vibration-based damage assessment of a 7-story RC building slice. This structure was built and tested ...

Abstract: One of the most crucial tasks in the design, control, and construction of urban deep excavations is ensuring the safety of the existing underground infrastructure. Deformation and settlement created by excavation may damage ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the identification of progressive damage, using an equivalent linear finite-element model updating strategy, in a masonry infilled RC frame that was tested on a shake table. A two-thirds-scale, ...

Abstract: The general realization algorithm (GRA) is developed to identify modal parameters of linear multi-degree-of-freedom dynamic systems subjected to measured (known) arbitrary dynamic loading from known initial conditions. The ...

Abstract: The Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge (AZMB), a newly built long-span suspension bridge, is located

Abstract: A full-scale 7-story reinforced concrete building slice was tested on the unidirectional University of California–San Diego Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (UCSD-NEES) shake table during the period from October ...
