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.
