Realization of a laboratory scaled steel truss bridge
As direct damage application on full-scale bridge structures is unfeasible, scaled laboratory models provide a suitable alternative for the validation of structural health monitoring (SHM) algorithms. Such models enable the introduction of controlled damage with known location and extent. The objective of this thesis is to design and construct a scaled laboratory model of an

Bridge FE model updating through on-field continuous measurements
FE model updating involves calibrating unknown and uncertain parameters to make the numerical model response match with the experimental measurements. For a bridge FE model, an updated model can serve multiple purposes, including damage detection, informed reinforcement design and the evaluation of new operational scenarios. Within this context, the student will implement a model updating
