Operational Modal Analysis is the testing procedure yielding experimental estimates of the
modal parameters from measurements of the structural response only. This book reports …

Prestressing methods were used to realize long-span bridges in the last few decades. For
their predictive maintenance, devices and dynamic nondestructive procedures for identifying …

In the last few decades large research efforts have been devoted to the development of
methods for automated detection of damage and degradation phenomena at an early stage …

The short-term vibration response of uncracked prestressed concrete (PC) members under
long-age conditions was investigated. No study has examined long-term phenomena of …

This article compares two nondestructive static methods used for the axial load assessment
in prismatic beam-columns of space trusses. Examples include the struts and ties or the …

This work proposes a vibration-based damage detection approach for axially loaded beam-
type structures. The potential of the adopted approach is shown with an application to …

In published works, very different explanations are given for the effect of prestressing on the
beam dynamics, especially on the relationship between the vibrational effects caused by an …

Cost-efficient and theoretically simple vibration-based analyses are widely used to assess
the axial forces of tensioned members. In the determination of cable forces, the applicability …

In this study, a laboratory experiment–based testing program was conducted on a large-
scale high-strength Prestressed Concrete I (PCI) beam with a parabolic unbonded tendon …

The influence of prestress force on the fundamental frequency and static deflection shape of
uncracked Prestressed Concrete (PC) beams with a parabolic bonded tendon was …
