Dynamics of Bridges Volume 5


Dynamics of Bridges represents one of five clusters of technical papers presented at the 28th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2010 organized by the Society for Experimental Mechanics, and held at Jacksonville, Florida, February 1-4, 2010. The full proceedings also include volumes on Structural Dynamics and Renewable Energy, Nonlinear Modeling and Applications, Dynamics of Civil Structures, and Structural Dynamics.





Each collection presents early findings from experimental and computational investigations on an important area within Structural Dynamics. The current volume on Dynamics of Bridges includes studies on Dynamics of Bridges, Health Monitoring of Bridges, and Bridges – System Identification This focus area seeks to provide a dedicated forum for researchers, designers and bridge owners to exchange ideas and concepts relating to the development, implementation and application of efficient experimental and numerical tools for the assessment, monitoring and control of the dynamic behavior of roadway, railway or pedestrian bridges, taking in mind problems of human comfort, structural performance and durability, damage detection and location, or structural rehabilitation. Particular attention is devoted to innovative applications in full scale structures.
