Abstract: Linear model updating techniques have been successfully applied in structural health monitoring (SHM) for assessing structural conditions. However, civil structures generally exhibit nonlinear hysteretic behavior under ...

Abstract: A fragility function quantifies the probability that a structural system exposed to a given hazard exceeds an undesirable limit state event conditioned on the occurrence of a hazard level. Multiple sources of uncertainty ...

Abstract: Because a structure’s modal parameters (natural frequencies and mode shapes) are affected by structural damage, finite- element model updating techniques are often applied to locate and quantify structural damage. However, ...
