SUMMARY A redundant system of collocated geodetic sensors and an accelerometer were
used to measure the displacements of a stiff, 40‐m‐long footbridge excited by essentially …

Abstract Structural identification (St-Id) of long-span bridges by ambient vibration testing
provides a starting point for quantitatively characterizing the actual in-service mechanical …

Ambient vibration sources in many prime energy harvesting applications are characterized
as having stochastic response with spectra concentrated at low frequencies and steadily …

Modal testing through ambient vibration holds unique advantages over other experimental
techniques, including static load tests, for the measurement of global parameters that …

A significant number of existing reinforced-concrete bridges all over the world require
maintenance and repair. Hence, the need for a rapid evaluation procedure for the diagnosis …

As a part of vital infrastructure and transportation network, bridge structures must function
safely at all times. Bridges are designed to have a long life span. At any point in time …

This paper presents an approach called random factor method (RFM) for the random
vibration analysis of seismic response of random truss structures. An antenna and a truss …

Structural health assessment of the old bridges is very important because of the fact that
some bridges have been damaged or destroyed in the world every year. The paper presents …

A wireless sensing system for structural health monitoring (SHM) of harbor caisson
structures is presented. To achieve the objective, the following approaches were …

The load carrying capacity of a bridge needs to be properly assessed to operate the bridge
safely and maintain it efficiently. For the evaluation of load carrying capacity considering the …
