The vibration performance of pedestrian structures has attracted the attention of several
studies, especially with respect to unfavourable operational conditions or possible damage …

Mechanical performance assessment of load-bearing elements under ordinary design
actions is a priority when material degradation or even severe damage may be experienced …

Composite materials are widely used in modern structural design and technologies due to
their qualified mechanical properties and high stiffness to weight ratio. Fibre breakage (FB) …

This study investigates the data normalisation of modal parameters of an operating concrete–
steel hybrid onshore wind turbine tower considering also the identification uncertainty. In …

The late opportunities prompted by artificial intelligence have motivated the current research
about structural damage detection strategies based on damage-sensitive subspace-based …

A variance-based method is proposed for the detection and localization of cracks in a beam.
A crack in a beam introduces a slope discontinuity in the beam elastic line. The local slope …

The use of simplified tools in support of the mechanical performance assessment of
pedestrian structures is strongly attractive for designers due to practical efficiency, as well as …
