The unknown properties of a structure can be identified from different measurement sets. The selection of an adequate set is a key pretest decision in any Structural System Identification (SSI) method. Among the different ...

Structural system identification (SSI) is a powerful tool for the assessment of the current condition of structures in operation. The basic assumption is that the deterioration of structures is reflected in the change of ...

Tradicionalmente, el comportamiento de las estructuras se suele modelizar mediante modelos numéricos con propiedades mecánicas conocidas. Sin embargo, los valores reales de las estructuras construidas raramente coinciden ...

The accumulation of progressive deterioration of structures might lead to the failure of structures. In order to avoid potential accidents, it is important to carry out condition assessment using structural system ...

Traditionally, the structural response of a bridge is modelled by simplistic physics-based models in which the mechanical and geometrical properties are assumed as known. Nevertheless, this is not the case in most actual ...

In real-life logistics, distribution plans might be affected by weather conditions (rain, snow, and fog), since they might have a significant effect on traveling times and, therefore, on total distribution costs. In this ...

In structural system identification, measurement errors and simulation errors are closely related with the accuracy of the identification method. In this paper, the effects of these two types of errors on structural system ...

Structural collapses have indirectly produced important progress in science. The last lesson learnt from structural collapses reveals the important role of polyrational systems of equations in the Civil Engineering field, ...

The structural response of any structure is traditionally predicted by simplistic physics-based models. In these models the mechanical and geometrical properties are assumed as known. Nevertheless, this is not the case in ...
