The numerical results from a finite element (FE) model often differ from the experimental
results of real structures. FE model updating is often required to identify and correct the …

An analytical and experimental modal analysis has been carried out on the Qingzhou cable-
stayed bridge in Fuzhou, China. Its main span of 605 m is currently the longest span among …

Autonomous structural health monitoring (SHM) of a large number of bridges became a topic
of paramount importance for maintenance purposes and safety reasons. This article …

Abstract The Nonlinear Output Frequency Response Functions (NOFRFs) are an extension
of the well-known Frequency Response Function (FRF) of linear systems to the nonlinear …

Bridges crossing fault are vulnerable to surface fault ruptures. Previous studies on this topic
are limited especially for thrust faults. It is necessary to examine the performances of fault …

Varying temperature is a major load of long-span cable-stayed bridges. The temperature
effect on the structural behavior may mask the influences of other loads. Conventional …
