Accurate and efficient interpretation of load-test data for asset-management

Increasing demand for new infrastructure and ageing of existing infrastructure has made management of infrastructure a key challenge of this century. Replacement of all ageing civil infrastructure is economically and environmentally unsustainable. Civil in ...

Using Regularized Linear-Regression Surrogate Models for Accurate Probabilistic Structural Identification

Ian Smith, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Model-based data interpretation has the potential to increase knowledge of structural behavior and support asset management. Models are usually conservative and contain many parameters and sources of systematic uncertainty, which need to be taken into acco ...

Comparing methodologies for structural identification and fatigue life prediction of a highway bridge

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Accurate measurement-data interpretation leads to increased understanding of structural behavior and enhanced asset-management decision making. In this paper, four data-interpretation methodologies, residual minimization, traditional Bayesian model updatin ...

Traffic-Based Condition Assessment and Fatigue-Life Predictions for a Highway Bridge

Ian Smith, Alain Nussbaumer, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Most civil infrastructure today was built during the second half of 20th century and is nearing the end of its service life. With increasing infrastructure demand that cannot be met with current resources for new supply, replacement of all aging infrastruc ...

A Practical Engineering Approach to Interpreting Measurement Data in Uncertain Contexts

Ian Smith, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Measurement data interpretation has the potential to improve asset management through quantification of reserve capacity and execution of well-engineered interventions. Many recent proposals for data interpretation that include uncertainty are not appropri ...

Uncertainty Qualification in Large Civil Infrastructure

Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Replacing aging civil infrastructure is expensive and not sustainable. Certain civil infrastructure also are landmarks which cannot be replaced. Reserve capacity estimation is useful for decision making regarding repair and replacement of structures. We im ...

Force Transfer around Openings in Cross-Laminated Timber Shear Walls

Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

This paper presents a study on force transfer around openings (FTAO) in cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear walls. To elucidate the load transfer mechanism in CLT walls, this study used finite-element models to study five different CLT shear wall configurat ...
