Topics on the Dynamics of Civil Structures Volume 1





Preface

Topics on the Dynamics of Civil Structures represents one of six volumes of technical papers presented at the 30th IMAC,

AConference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2012 organized by the Society for Experimental Mechanics, and held in

Jacksonville, Florida, January 30–February 2, 2012. The full proceedings also include volumes on Substructuring and Wind

Turbine Dynamics; Nonlinear Dynamics; Model Validation and Uncertainty Quantification; and Modal Analysis, I & II.

Each collection presents early findings from experimental and computational investigations on an important area within

Structural Dynamics. The current volume on Topics on the Dynamics of Civil Structures centers on the testing, monitoring,

and assessment of civil structures. Bridge dynamics and monitoring are two topics that are explored as part of a special focus

on large civil structures. Damage detection, human loading, and vibration control address safety of civil structures.

The organizers would like to thank the authors, presenters, session organizers, and session chairs for their participation in

this track.
