“…Finally, it has to be remarked that field of applicability of the characterization procedure can be extended to all the types of structures for which the dynamic identification is required, independently of the structural typology or of the used material. Another application of the proposed procedure, once the structural characteristics of the frame have been determined, is the detection of the damages on the frames by using continuous monitoring systems [30]. Furthermore, it is worth noting that theoretically there is no limit to the number of unknows but, of course when these variables increase, the timing of the numerical process increase as well.…”

Steel storage racks are widely used in logistics for storing materials and goods. Rack design is carried out by adopting the so-called design-assisted-by-testing procedure. In particular, experimental analyses must be carried out by rack producers on the key structural components in order to adopt the design approach proposed for the more traditional carpentry frames. For existing racks, i.e., those in-service for decades, it is required to evaluate the load carrying capacity in accordance with the design provisions currently in use. The main problem in several cases should be the appraisal of the key component performance, owing to the impossibility to obtain specimens from in-service racks without reduction or interruption of the logistic flows. To overcome this problem, a quite innovative procedure for the identification of the structural unknowns of existing racks has been proposed in the paper. The method is based on in-situ modal identification tests combined with extensive numerical analyses. To develop the procedure, cheap measurement systems are required, and they could be immediately applied to existing racks. A real case study is discussed, showing the efficiency of the procedure in the evaluation of the effective elastic stiffness of beam-to-column joints and base plate connections, that are parameters which remarkably affect the rack performance. The structural unknowns have been determined based on four sets of modal tests (two configurations on the longitudinal direction and two in the transversal direction) plus 9079 iterative structural analyses. The results obtained were then directly compared with experimental component tests, showing differences lower than 9%.

“…Li et al [179] studied a model simplification technique, through which damage detection based on SBL can be carried out under the condition that the measured degrees of freedom were limited. Li et al [180] reported a combination of the Bayesian theory and perturbation methods to detect structural bearings. The posterior probability density function of the damage parameters was obtained by using the Bayesian damage detection theory, and the calculation cost was saved by using the matrix perturbation method.…”

The health monitoring system of a bridge is an important guarantee for the safe operation of the bridge and has always been a research hotspot in the field of civil engineering. This paper reviews the latest progressions in bridge health monitoring over the past five years. This paper is organized according to the various links of the bridge health monitoring system. Firstly, the literature on monitoring technology is divided into two categories, sensor technology and computer vision technology, for review. Secondly, based on the obtained monitoring data, the data processing methods including preprocessing, noise reduction, and reconstruction are summarized. Then, the technical literature on abnormal data early warning systems is summarized. The recent advances in vibration-based and non-destructive testing-based damage identification methods are reviewed in the next section. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the existing research and the future research directions are summarized. This review aims to provide a clear framework and some reliable methods for future research.

In civil engineering structures, modal changes produced by environmental conditions, especially temperature, can be equivalent to or greater than the ones produced by damage. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish the variations in structural properties caused by environmental changes from those caused by structural damages. In this paper, we present a review of the technical literature concerning variations in the vibration properties of civil structures under varying temperature conditions and damage identification methods for bridge structures. First, the literature on the effect of temperature on vibration properties is roughly divided into experimental and theoretical studies. According to the classification of theoretical research methods, the progress in research on the probability analysis method, the artificial intelligence method, and the optimization algorithm method in this field is reviewed. Based on the different methods of experimental research employed in this field, the experimental research is reviewed according to qualitative and quantitative analyses. Then, damage identification methods for bridge structures are reviewed, considering data-based and model-based methods. Finally, different research methods are summarized.
