With increasing urbanization and depleting reserves of raw materials for construction,
sustainable management of existing infrastructure will be an important challenge in this …

Today, bridge owners must consider increasing traffic demands (in both volume and weight)
and also face concerns related to sustainability, resilience and liveability which were …

This paper introduces a methodology for Bayesian model updating of a linear dynamic
system using the modal data that consists of the posterior statistics of the modal properties …

A method is proposed to determine optimal locations of input forces for experimental modal
analysis. The input locations are optimal in a sense that the measured vibration responses …

The paper presents a Bayesian Finite element (FE) model updating methodology by utilizing
modal data. The dynamic condensation technique is adopted in this work to reduce the full …

This paper presents a novel Gibbs sampling approach for structural health monitoring (SHM)
with detection of structural changes/damages using incomplete complex modal data …

This study investigates optimal sensor locations using multi-type sensors for strain recovery.
Weighted least squares estimation is used for strain recovery, and the optimal sensor …

A Bayesian formulation for inference of material properties from experimental signals is
proposed with a normal likelihood quantifying noise and an inverse gamma prior expressing …

The existing literature on Bayesian updating of structural models has assigned equal
variances (homoscedasticity) in the measured observables across all modes by assuming a …

In this work, a numerical study is conducted to investigate the improvement of in-plane
behavior of weak brick masonry walls through assimilation of partially confining horizontal …
