Deflection Measurement of Masonry Arch Bridges with Tall Piers: Case Study of Shahbazan Bridge
A common practice for detailed assessment of masonry bridges is to use recorded deflection signature of mid-span of such structures due to predefined loading schemes. However, measuring the deflection of bridges with tall piers or those situated over deep valleys introduces certain difficulties, since common deflection-meters require a reference point relative to which the measureme...
متن کاملFeature Selection in Structural Health Monitoring Big Data Using a Meta-Heuristic Optimization Algorithm
This paper focuses on the processing of structural health monitoring (SHM) big data. Extracted features of a structure are reduced using an optimization algorithm to find a minimal subset of salient features by removing noisy, irrelevant and redundant data. The PSO-Harmony algorithm is introduced for feature selection to enhance the capability of the proposed method for processing the measure...

متن کاملThe Effect of Vertical Component of Earthquake on Continuous and Monolithic Frame Bridges
Performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (VCE) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. In most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, VCE is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of VCE. In the present work, the effect of VCE on two existing...
