As a revolutionary technology, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is attracting increasing
interest in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), with outstanding …

Over the last decade, particular interest in using state-of-the-art emerging technologies for
inspection, assessment, and management of civil infrastructures has remarkably increased …

Bridge infrastructure has great economic, social, and cultural value. Nevertheless, many of
the infrastructural assets are in poor conservation condition as has been recently evidenced …

Abstract The opportunities of Operational Modal Analysis and Finite Element model
updating for non-destructive structural assessment have attracted significant research …

This paper explores the use of three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning to evaluate
deteriorated steel bridge girders due to corrosion. Initially, a naturally corroded beam from a …

Finite element model updating of a structure made of linear elastic materials is based on the
solution of a minimization problem. The goal is to find some unknown parameters of the …

In architecture and civil engineering, maintaining historical constructions is essential for
preserving cultural heritage. This is especially relevant in constructions exposed to a high …

Nowadays, several historical steel structures present damage and an advanced
deterioration state induced by human or natural actions, causing fluctuations in geometrical …

This paper aims at presenting a methodology that integrates reverse engineering tools with
a combination of advanced and simplified analytical methods to perform predictive analysis …

Within the precepts defended by the International Charter of Kraków, this paper aims at
presenting a fully non-destructive multidisciplinary approach able to characterize masonry …
