Abstract: A finite element based method for static parameter identification of structures is presented for the systematic identification of plate‐bending stiffness parameters for a one‐third scale, reinforced‐concrete pier‐deck ...

Abstract: A method for the parameter estimation of structures was developed in a companion paper. It used subsets of static applied forces and strain measurements and successfully identified structural element stiffnesses. In the ...

Abstract: A method for structural parameter identification utilizing elemental strain measurements is presented. By using a subset of applied static forces and a subset of measured strains, element stiffness parameters of all or a ...

Abstract: Recent research on structural health monitoring has shown the applicability of Kalman filtering for fusion of models and data of dynamic systems. In this study, the augmented Kalman filter (AKF) is combined with a ...

Abstract: In recent years, the construction of the overtrack building complexes including offices, schools, residences, stores, and restaurants above metro depots has increased in China. Train-generated vibration transmits through ...

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: An objective, data-driven approach to evaluate the performance of bridges for developing a structural health monitoring system is introduced as bridge behavior. A method of identifying structural damage through the evaluation ...

Abstract: Reuse of bridge foundations often requires determining the capacity of existing foundations, including driven piles. These piles have a proven history of load-carrying capacity but may lack test data from which the capacity ...
