Extensive amounts of operational data are generated over time by
the health monitoring system of a structure's management system,
yet there are few analysis algorithms which can tell the exact
working state of the structure on-line. Good maintenance engineers
need to know the exact location and state of the structural
components after an earthquake or some attack or accident involving
the structure, possibly within a matter of hours, and the client
also demands a rapid diagnosis of the structure before making
decisions on any necessary remedial work. This book is devoted to
the condition assessment of a structure under operational loading,
with most of the illustrations related to a bridge deck under a
group of moving vehicular loads. More generally, a wide variety of
excitation forces can be exerted on a structure, from earthquake
excitation, wind loading, vehicular loading or ambient excitation
at the supports. Different algorithms may be used to enable real
time identification with deterministic results on the state of the
structure. This book also covers a group of
damage-detection-oriented-models developed by the author, including
a new decomposition of the system matrices of the beam element and
plate element. Methods for extending the deterministic condition
assessment to provide statistical information are also included.
The methods and algorithms described can be implemented for the
on-line condition assessment of a structure through model updating
of the structure during the course of extreme loading such as an
earthquake, or when under normal ambient excitation or operation
excitation. Different sample structures are described and analysed,
supplemented with major references. This leading-edge work will be
especially useful for researchers and graduate students, and it is
also heavily rooted in advanced engineering practice. Series:
Structures and Infrastructures Series Structures and
Infrastructures comprises advanced-level books dealing with the
maintenance, management, and cost analysis of structures and
infrastructures. Topics treated include research, development and
application of the most advanced technologies for analyzing,
predicting, and optimizing the performance of structures and
infrastructures, such as buildings, bridges, dams, underground
construction, offshore platforms, pipelines, naval vessels, ocean
structures, and nuclear power plants, as well as airplanes,
aerospace, and automotive structures. Themes featured are
mathematical modeling, computer and experimental methods, practical
applications in assessment and evaluation, construction and design
for durability, decision making, deterioration modeling and aging,
failure analysis, field testing, financial planning, inspection and
diagnostics, life-cycle analysis and prediction, loads, maintenance
strategies, management systems, nondestructive testing, maintenance
and management optimization, specifications and codes, structural
safety and reliability, system analysis, time-dependent
performance, rehabilitation, repair, replacement, reliability and
risk management, service life prediction, strengthening and whole
life costing.
