Moving force identification from bridge dynamicresponses

Ling Yu and Tommy H.T. Chan

Abstract

A big progress has been made for moving force identification from bridge dynamic responses in recent years. Current knowledge and the potentials on moving force identification methods are reviewed in this paper under main headings below: background of moving force identification, experimental verification in laboratory and its application in field.

Key Words

moving force identification; vehicle-bridge interaction; dynamic response; review.
