Seismic modelling of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is addressed worldwide
according to different approaches, not only at research level, but also in the current …

The increasingly request for the maintenance of the architectural heritage has led in the last
decades to the extensive use of System Identification (SI) techniques for Structural Health …

The diffusion of seismic structural health monitoring systems, evaluating the dynamic
response of engineering structures to earthquakes, is growing significantly among strategic …

Civil engineering structures inevitably suffer from nonstationary ambient excitations in
practice, which make conventional damage identification methods relying on the stationary …

Current post-earthquake assessment relies on manual inspections to assess the safety
conditions of existing buildings. Such field inspection in a building-to-building manner …

Curved beam bridges, whose line type is flexible and beautiful, are an indispensable bridge
type in modern traffic engineering. Nevertheless, compared with linear bridges, curved …

This paper presents a new framework for material level system identification for damage
assessment of a reinforced concrete structure using a modified version of the unscented …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) can be seen as a process that transforms data collected
on the structure into actionable information for integrity management. The design and …

Pushover analysis is a common nonlinear static procedure, performed to evaluate seismic
response of civil structures. This approach allows considering the structural nonlinear …

Hysteresis is a common phenomenon arising in many engineering applications. It describes
a memory-based relation between the restoring force and the displacement. Identification of …
