Diagnostic instrumentation and monitoring of bridges are essential for reliable structural
condition assessment and performance evaluation. This management step applies …

The primary goal of this paper is to discuss the state-of-the-art related to the structural
identification (St-ID) of constructed systems, and to point out the most pressing needs for …

The old steel bridges that integrate the existing railway lines are structures built with
materials that are no longer used and whose knowledge has being lost over the years, often …

Research has been carried out to evaluate the structural behavior and influence of aging on
a century-old steel railroad truss bridge. The structure is located in Connecticut and services …

The assessment and reclassification procedure of the Campasso Bridge, a 90-years old
steel bridge typical of the beginning of the last century, is discussed in this paper. Steel is …

Bridges generally are susceptible to deterioration, thus in such a situation precise
information on characteristics and condition of their materials and structural systems based …

The structural performance of reinforced concrete bridges gradually deteriorates due to
material aging and concrete cracking. Reported here are the experimental investigations …

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is employed to track and evaluate damage and
deterioration during regular operation as well as after extreme events for aerospace …

This paper presents nonlinear modeling and analysis of a decommissioned steel truss
bridge (STB) in Franklin County, Ohio that was tested to failure in 1992 and demolished in …

Structural health assessment of the old bridges is very important because of the fact that
some bridges have been damaged or destroyed in the world every year. The paper presents …
