Tests on infill masonry walls have been widely performed by many researchers and for a
long time with the main purpose of characterising the infill performance under earthquake …

Abstract Machine learning (ML)–based data-driven approaches have become increasingly
prevalent for predicting structural performance. Because a properly trained ML model can …

Serviceability of tall timber and hybrid timber buildings under wind-induced vibrations has
become their leading design criterion. Accurate finite element models for predicting their …

Mode identification in civil engineering uses ambient excitation response, where the
excitation is assumed to be stationary white noise. However, practical engineering …

Background and objective Prior studies have shown higher green cover levels are
associated with beneficial health outcomes. We sought to determine if residential green …

This paper presents a methodology to perform the seismic vulnerability assessment of
existing buildings. It starts with the acquisition of structural data from available construction …

Monitoring the performance and estimating the remaining useful life of aging civil
infrastructure in the United States has been identified as a major objective in the civil …

In this study, the vibration serviceability of multi-storey timber buildings is addressed. The
core of this study pertains to the preparation of a comprehensive finite element model to …

Ambient vibration measurements and 3-D nonlinear time-history numerical modeling are
used to assess the retrofitting measures conducted in a 6-story unreinforced masonry …

A major trust of modal parameters identification (MPI) research in recent years has been
based on using artificial and natural vibrations sources because vibration measurements …
