Description

The research topics of the project are: (a) Bayesian finite element model updating and uncertainty quantification for large civil engineering structures under service loadings, (b) application of artificial intelligence tools for analysing structural health monitoring data, (c) construction of proxy models for larger civil engineering structures, and (d) designing efficient in-situ vibration tests.

Main goals

To apply artificial intelligence tools for analysis of structural health monitoring data in order to find a suitable damage indicator. To apply Bayesian inference and uncertainty quantification for identification of (dynamic) characteristics of large buildings and bridges.

Project work packages:

  • Project management (lead partner UL FGG)
  • Experiments (lead partner ZAG)
  • Pre-processing of data and data analysis by artificial intelligence tools (lead partner SZTAKI)
