Measurement system design for civil infrastructure using expected utility

Ian Smith, James-Alexandre Goulet, Romain Pasquier

For system identification, most sensor-placement strategies are based on the minimization of the model-parameter uncertainty. However, reducing the uncertainty in remaining-life prognosis of structures is often more relevant. This paper proposes an optimiz ...

Iterative structural identification framework for evaluation of existing structures

Ian Smith, Romain Pasquier

Evaluation of aging infrastructure has been a world-wide concern for decades due to its economic, ecological and societal importance. Existing structures usually have large amounts of unknown reserve capacity that may be evaluated though structural identif ...

Measurement, Data Interpretation, and Uncertainty Propagation for Fatigue Assessments of Structures

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, James-Alexandre Goulet, Romain Pasquier, Claire Acevedo, Luca D'Angelo

Real behavior of existing structures is usually associated with large uncertainty that is often covered by the use of conservative models and code practices for the evaluation of remaining fatigue lives. In order to make better decisions related to retrofi ...

Performance Assessment and Prognosis for Civil Infrastructure Based on Model Falsification Reasoning

Romain Pasquier

Infrastructure facilities are important to the economic growth and quality of life of modern societies. Much infrastructure has been built principally in the second half of the 20th century and several thousand structures are now attaining their design liv ...

Using measurements to reduce model uncertainty for better predictions

Ian Smith, Romain Pasquier

Accurate models of real behaviour that are determined through measurements help engineers avoid expensive interventions and structural replacement. Model calibration by “curve-fitting” measurements to predictions is not appropriate for full-scale structure ...

Sources and forms of modelling uncertainties for structural identification

Ian Smith, Romain Pasquier

The aim of model-based structural identification is to make sense of monitoring data in order to improve knowledge of the real behaviour of structures. Common use of structural-identification techniques involves an assumption of independent zero-mean Gauss ...
