In this paper, the academic wireless monitoring system with smart sensing units developed at Stanford University and Michigan University is applied for the ambient vibration study of a steel arch bridge in Xiamen, China. Ambient acceleration responses of the bridge measured by the wireless sensing units are compared with those collected by a traditional wire-based data acquisition system. Clock...

This study investigates the nonlinear dynamic response of masonry bridge ‘Ponte delle Torri’ in Spoleto, aiming at assessing seismic performance structure and evaluating occurring damaging mechanisms. A 3D Finite Element (FE) macromechanical procedure implemented FE program FEAP is adopted to model bridge. To reproduce typical microcracking process evolving material when subjected external load...
