The continuous monitoring of loads applied to structures and the system response is very important for structural health monitoring. For civil engineering structures, the [...]

The Palmas Altas footbridge is a recently built bridge in Sevilla (Spain) designed by architect Richard Rogers. It is a 78.6m long steel-concrete box girder. The bridge h [...]

A 3D inertial motion tracking technique, originating from the movement science and entertainement industry, is applied for the analysis of the walking behaviour of pedest [...]

The problem of jointly estimating the input forces and states of a structure from a limited number of acceleration measurements is addressed. Utilizing a model-based join [...]

We present an implicit-explicit multi-time-step method for structural dynamics using the family of Generalized-α methods. With the proposed partitioned method, one can d [...]

Dynamic programming is a recognized technique for solving the moving force identification problem and has as merits its efficiency and the flexibility it offers regarding [...]

Structural health monitoring by vibration monitoring has been and still is a popular research topic. Especially the good results of state-of-the-art system identification [...]

This paper investigates the dynamic effect of the train-bridge interaction on the bridge. The results of a moving load model are compared to those of an analysis of dynam [...]

The present contribution evaluates the dynamic behaviour of a slender steel footbridge before and after installation of two Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). The experimental st [...]

Vibration based structural health monitoring was and is still a hot topic in research. Much progress has been made both from the theoretical as well as the practical side [...]
