The addition of Light Rail Trains (LRT) to the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge, the widest floating bridge in the world located in Seattle, Washington, is currently in its design process. The design team has concluded that a transition Track Bridge (TB) is necessary...

Multivariable Nyquist eigenloci provide a much richer family of curves as compared to the SISO case. The eigenloci may be computed symbolically in many simple cases. Inspection of the generalized Nyquist eigenloci plot allows the determination of the exact values of...

A Finite Element (FE) model which can precisely predict the actual dynamic responses of a bridge is necessary for accurate condition assessment and health monitoring purposes. However, most of the bridge FE models initially developed for design purposes may not be...

In this paper we focus on comparing three candidate approaches to the optimal placement of sensors for state estimation-based continuous health monitoring of structures. The first aims to minimize the static estimation error of the structure deflections, using the...
