The vehicle scanning method (VSM), an indirect approach for bridge measurement, has
attracted intensive attention since it was proposed by Yang and co-workers in 2004. This …

In 2004, Yang and co-workers proposed the extraction of bridge frequencies from the
dynamic response of a moving test vehicle [YB Yang, CW Lin and JD Yau, Extracting bridge …

As the finite element (FE) model has become increasingly important in engineering, the
model updating method has also received much attention as a means of improving the …

With the growing number of well-aged bridges and the urgency in developing
reliable,(pseudo-) real-time monitoring of structural safety and integrity, there is a worldwide …

In the past few decades, many bridges have been built. How to ensure the safety and
durability of these bridges has become an important issue in the field of bridge engineering …

The fundamental problem of Bayesian model updating is identifying the posterior probability
density function (PDF) of uncertain model parameters. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) …

This paper presents the results of a full-scale ambient vibration test, modal analysis and
model updating of a typical 14-story reinforced concrete factory building in Hong Kong. A 12 …

This paper proposes a Bayesian method for structural model updating and damage
detection using modal data. A recently developed Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is …

Bayesian model updating framework provides a reliable method for building high-fidelity
finite element models (FEMs). To realize the efficient model updating of large-scale civil …

With the ever-increasing number of well-aged bridges carrying traffic loads beyond their
intended design capacity, there is an urgency to find reliable and efficient means of …
