Arrays of large numbers of sensors and accompanying complex system identification (SI) methods have been recently used in engineering applications on structures ranging from complex real space trusses to simple experimental beams. However, practical application to strong motion data recorded on large civil engineering systems is limited. In this study, state-space identification methods are used for modal identification from earthquake records with further investigation into the effectiveness of the methods from the viewpoint of sensor layout configuration. The study presented in this paper adopts a deterministic approach, which is complemented with statistical evaluation in another paper. The used SI methods include eigen realization, system realization with information matrix and subspace methods. The application of the methods on instrumented bridge systems in California is included and the performance of these methods is compared in terms of success and feasibility. Subsequently, viability of the methods on arrays of different numbers of sensors on the bridge systems is investigated. This is motivated by the fact that sensor arrays with wireless communication may be conveniently installed on civil engineering structures in the future. Computational costs and limits of applicability are examined using simulated ground motion analysis with detailed finite element models for a bridge system after validation using recorded data from real ground shaking. Moreover, the effect of the configuration of the sensor arrays is considered, accounting for different noise levels in the data to reflect more realistic situations.

Natural periods of steel plate shear wall systems Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01) in most seismic building codes, the design base acceleration is computed using the natural period of vibration of the structure. Design specifications provide empirical formula to estimate the fundamental natural period of a system. In this study a class of steel plate shear walls, that have uniform properties through their height, was considered. The fundamental natural periods of this class of structures were determined using three dimensional geometrically linear finite element analyses and were compared...
Design of Retaining Walls Using Big Bang-Big Crunch Optimization Camp, Charles V.; Akin, Alper (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-03-01) A procedure is developed for designing low-cost or low-weight cantilever reinforced concrete retaining walls, with base shear keys, using big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) optimization. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the total cost or total weight per unit length of the retaining structure subjected to constraints on the basis of stability, bending moment, and shear force capacities and the requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-05). An iterative population-based heuristic sear...
Mechanical behavior of CFRP confined low strength concretes subjected to simultaneous heating-cooling cycles and sustained loading Erdil, B.; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-01-01) This study aims to present the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) reinforced low strength cylindrical and prism concrete specimens under both heating-cooling cycles and sustained loading. Heating-cooling cycles range from -10 to 50A degrees C and the applied sustained load level is 40% of the ultimate strength of concrete. After 200 heating-cooling cycles and/or sustained load testing, specimens were tested to determine the mechanical behavior under uniaxial compression. The expe...
FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF PRESTRESSED AND REINFORCED-CONCRETE STRUCTURES ELMEZAINI, N; CITIPITIOGLU, E (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1991-10-01) A practical and powerful technique for the discrete representation of reinforcement in finite element analysis of prestressed and reinforced concrete structures is presented. Isoparametric quadratic and cubic finite elements with movable nodes are developed utilizing a correction technique for mapping distortion. Reinforcing bars and/or prestressing tendons are modeled independently of the concrete mesh. Perfect or no bond as well as any bond-slip model can easily be represented. The procedure is succes...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
