This study introduces an efficient procedure to estimate the structural response of a suspension bridge in real time based on a limited set of measured data. Unlike conventional techniques, the proposed procedure does not employ mode shapes and frequencies. In this...

In the current state-of-practice of the performance-based design of structures, simplified procedures are often used to evaluate the deformation capacity of structural systems. One specific example is using the rotation limits for the deformation-controlled elements....
