Computation-effective structural performance assessment using Gaussian Process-based finite element model updating and reliability analysis (2020)
Journal Article

Structural health monitoring data has been widely acknowledged as a significant source for evaluating the performance and health conditions of structures. However, a holistic framework that efficiently incorporates monitored data into structural iden...

A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification (2019)
Journal Article

The dynamic behaviour of footbridges is characterised by modal properties such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios and modal masses. Their estimation via modal tests often requires expensive or difficult-to-operate equipment (e.g. sha... Read More about A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification.

Vibration-based Bayesian model updating of civil engineering structures applying Gaussian process metamodel (2019)
Journal Article

Structural health monitoring plays a significant role in providing information regarding the performance of structures throughout their life spans. However, information that is directly extracted from monitored data is usually susceptible to uncertai...

Modular Bayesian damage detection for complex civil infrastructure (2019)
Journal Article

We address the problem of damage identification in complex civil infrastructure with an integrative modular Bayesian framework. The proposed approach uses multiple response Gaussian processes to build an informative yet computationally affordable pro...

Thermal strain extraction methodologies for bridge structural condition assessment (2018)
Journal Article

This paper presents a feature extraction method to uncover the temperature effects on bridge responses, which combines mode decomposition, data reduction, and blind separation. For mode decomposition, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble e... Read More about Thermal strain extraction methodologies for bridge structural condition assessment.

Bayesian structural identification of a long suspension bridge considering temperature and traffic load effects (2018)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2018. This article presents a probabilistic structural identification of the Tamar bridge using a detailed finite element model. Parameters of the bridge cables initial strain and bearings friction were identified. Effects of temperat...

Comprehensive Bayesian structural identification using temperature variation (2017)
Journal Article

A modular Bayesian method is applied for structural identification of a reduced-scale aluminium bridge model subject to thermal loading. The deformation and temperature variations of the structure were measured using strain gauges and thermocouples....

A statistical analysis of the dynamic response of a railway viaduct (2014)
Journal Article

A statistical analysis of the dynamic response of a railway viaduct, modelled after an actual structure, is presented. The finite element model of the viaduct is based on the data provided by the Portuguese Railway Company REFER EPE. The train load i...
