The ageing of existing structures and new innovative designs are increasing the necessity for a greater understanding of structural behaviour. A better understanding would improve effectiveness of activities such as assessing reserve capacity, evaluating l ...
This paper presents an approach for model identifiability that builds upon recent research into measurement data interpretation. The objective of this approach is to determine probabilistically to what degree the number of models able to explain a measured ...
This paper presents a method for measurement-system design through criteria related to model based structural identification. Using a multi-model approach and results from previous research carried out at EPFL, an improved algorithm is proposed. The algori ...
This paper presents a measurement system design methodology that incorporates damage scenarios. One of the goals of a measurement system is to detect damage for safety and for management of maintenance activities. This study builds upon previous research a ...
The aim of structural performance monitoring is to infer the state of a structure from measurements and thereby support decisions related to structural management. Complex structures may be equipped with hundreds of sensors that measure quantities such as ...
Structural identification is the activity of determining how a structure is behaving using results from measurements. This paper presents a process model for carrying out structural identification over the life of the structure using results from structura ...

This paper presents results from static loads tests performed on the new Langensand Bridge built in Switzerland. A systematic study of over 1000 models subjected to three load cases identifies a set of 11 candidate models through static measurements. Predi ...

Engineers often decide to measure structures upon signs of damage to determine its extent and its location. Measurement locations, sensor types and numbers of sensors are selected based on judgment and experience. Rational and systematic methods for evalua ...
Knowledge of the compressive strength evolution of concrete is critical for activities such as stripping formwork, construction scheduling and pre-stressing operations. Although there are several procedures for predicting concrete compressive strength, rel ...
