The paper describes and evaluates application of output-only system identification to an
eleven-span post-tensioned concrete bridge using hybrid excitation. A linear chirp sweeping …

This study focuses on the identification of the natural frequencies of structures through the
analysis of the speckle pattern that a laser creates and a camera records. The laser pointer …

Structural health monitoring has drawn great attention in the field of civil engineering in past
two decades. These structural health monitoring methods evaluate structural integrity …

An enhanced method to determine the best-fit auto-regressive model (AR model) for
structural damage identification is proposed in this paper. Whereby, two parameters of the …

In this research, we synthesized an artificial neural network (ANN) with three metaheuristic
algorithms, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, imperialist competition …

The autoregressive method is one of the simple methods for modal identification of the
output-only systems. However, through the autoregressive method, for identifying n modes …

In modal analysis, the mode shape reflects the vibration characteristics of the structure, and
thus it is widely performed for finite element model updating and structural health monitoring …

Output-only system identification of a large post-tensioned concrete bridge using hybrid
excitation was conducted. To boost ambient excitations, dynamic forcing applied by two light …

Using the most up-to-date system identification methods in both time and frequency
domains, the dynamic monitoring data from the reinforced concrete Egebaekvej Bridge near …
