چکیده
The concept of robust reliability is de®ned to take into account uncertainties from structural modeling in addition to the uncertain excitation that a structure will experience during its lifetime. A Bayesian probabilistic methodology for system identi®cation is integrated with probabilistic structural analysis tools for the purpose of updating the assessment of the robust reliability based on dynamic test data. Methods for updating the structural reliability for both identi®able and unidenti®able models are presented. Application of the methodology to a simple beam model of a single-span bridge with soil-structure interaction at the abutments, including a case with a tuned-mass damper attached to the deck, shows that the robust reliabilities computed before and after updating with ameasuredo dynamic data can differ signi®cantly. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The accumulation of damage within a structure due to service loading or environmental conditions is a random phenomenon. Continuum damage mechanics (CDM) enables macroscopic manifestations of damage to be related to microscopic defects and discontinuities present within a material. This permits margins of safety to be assessed prior to the time at which damage becomes visible or detectable. Und...

This paper demonstrates the possibility of incorporating load-dependent Ritz vectors as an alternative to modal parameters into a Bayesian probabilistic framework for detecting damages in a structure. Recent research has shown that it is possible to extract load-dependent Ritz vectors from vibration tests. This paper shows that load-dependent Ritz vectors have the following potential advantages...
