At the time of designing structures up to date, the density and magnitude of the load have
increased, and the requirements for regulation have also become more stringent. To ensure …

Substructuring methods possess many merits in model updating and damage identification
of large-scale structures. With substructuring methods, a global structure is divided into a …

Optimal sensor placement is one of the important issues in monitoring the condition of
structures, which has a major influence on monitoring system performance and cost. Due to …

A novel criterion, based on additional virtual masses estimated in multiple tests and the
Bayesian theory, is proposed in this paper to improve the efficiency and precision of damage …

The frequency response function (FRF)-based deterministic damage detection method is
well established, but there are some practical difficulties when considering uncertainty …

The Bayesian model updating approach (BMUA) has been widely used to update structural
parameters using modal measurements because of its powerful ability to handle …

In practical civil engineering, structural damage identification is difficult to implement due to
the shortage of measured modal information and the influence of noise. Furthermore, typical …

Europe has an extensive transport infrastructure network where bridges play a vital role.
Most of them were built as part of the post-World War II reconstruction effort, meaning that …

This paper presents a study for identifying damage severity and location in the supporting
system of tether-type submerged floating tunnel (SFT) as an innovative manner for crossing …

Accurate information on vehicle parameters is essential for vehicle design, vehicle-bridge
interaction analysis, and road maintenance. Currently, most vehicle parameters …
