The improvements in the development of reliable and low-cost sensors, capable of measuring different structural response quantities (e.g. acceleration, strain, etc.) have attracted extensive research in the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) over the last decades. However, despite the advan...

SHM is vital in quantitatively identifying engineered critical structural damage due to its potential economic and security interests. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a popular method used for SHM on damage localization and classification. However, traditional CNN methods have limitations in p...

Many novel approaches to structural health monitoring use machine learning techniques that require large data sets to train the system effectively. In an effort to enhance available data sets for bridges, for these approaches to become wider applicable, a population-based structural health monitorin...

In this study vision based structural health monitoring (VB-SHM) technique is used for system identification of railway bridge in north Netherlands. The bridge is 150 m long and made of composite materials. The bridge is modelled using finite element (FE) software. The dynamic properties estimated b...

In the last decades, an increasing number of researchers has been devoted to damage detection in civil structures. Structural Health Monitoring techniques allow to monitor structures, localizing and in some cases, quantifying damages to prevent failures. Since a damaged structure is characterized by...

Due to the lack of information regarding structural details and construction technology, finite element analysis based results may be dubious for aging structures. The results will not confirm the effect of soil structure interaction either since back analysis based assumptions may not exactly repre...

The Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) collaborates with TNO to develop a software framework for automated calibration of structural models based on monitoring data. The ultimate goal is to include such models in the asset management process of engineering structures. As a basi...
