This paper presents an approach for structural health monitoring by integrating nonlinear structural finite element (FE) models and Bayesian methods. Batch and recursive [...]

A technique for analysis of dynamic structural response is developed based on the Wavelet Transform Method (WTM). This technique extends an earlier methodology for struct [...]

This paper presents recent advances in response sensitivity, probabilistic response and reliability analyses of structural and geotechnical systems. These developments ar [...]

Classical reliability methods such as First- and Second-Order Reliability Methods (FORM and SORM) have been important breakthroughs toward feasible and reliable integrati [...]

This paper presents a two-dimensional yet advanced nonlinear finite element model of a real bridge system, the Humboldt Bay Middle Channel Bridge near Eureka in Northern [...]
