Intelligent Steel Structures ‐ Model Updating Concepts for Innovative Design Strategies

Structural systems are in general quite sophisticated terms of interactions between individual members with respect to their stressing and resistance. In addition, the stochastic nature different loads resistances, respectively, is different. A consistent statistical representation random variables for a structural component/member therefore complex. this context, implementation intelligent structures incorporation measuring data can help improve prediction certain member update models design process. Depending on obtained measurement data, updating either refer quality values, but also quantity or even mechanical model its boundary conditions. For that reason, classification possibilities context process described by hierarchical levels useful. The aim article give an overview insight corresponding concepts sensor-based strategies steel structures. first research results regarding effect measurement-based improvement presented.
