Cover Story: This article presents the latest advances in finite element (FE) modelling and model-updating methods that have been widely adopted for cable-stayed bridges, through a critical literature review of existing research work. FE model updating is a well-recognised approach for SHM purposes, as an accurate model serves as a baseline reference for damage detection and long-term monitoring. One of the many challenges is the development of the initial FE model that can accurately reflect the dynamic characteristics and the overall bridge behaviour. To improve the model, a variety of model-updating techniques of differing computational cost are also available. An understanding of these challenges is desirable to better facilitate the FE model creation and updating process to improve the accuracy of the final model. View this paper

Latest Advances in Finite Element Modelling and Model Updating of Cable-Stayed Bridges

  • Thomas Sharry,
  • Hong Guan,
  • Andy Nguyen,
  • Erwin Oh and
  • Nam Hoang

As important links in the transport infrastructure system, cable-stayed bridges are among the most popular candidates for implementing structural health monitoring (SHM) technology. The primary aim of SHM for these bridges is to ensure their structur...

Designing a Structural Health Monitoring System Accounting for Temperature Compensation

  • Valeria Francesca Caspani,
  • Daniel Tonelli,
  • Francesca Poli and
  • Daniele Zonta

Structural health monitoring is effective if it allows us to identify the condition state of a structure with an appropriate level of confidence. The estimation of the uncertainty of the condition state is relatively straightforward a posteriori, i.e...

Chloride Induced Corrosion and Carbonation in 3D Printed Concrete

  • Jean De’M Malan,
  • Algurnon Steve van Rooyen and
  • Gideon P. A. G. van Zijl

The durability of reinforced concrete structures is dependent on the ability of the concrete cover to combat the ingress of chlorides and carbon dioxide in marine and urban environments. In recent years, interest in additive manufacturing, specifical...
