Comparing Structural Identification Methodologies for Fatigue Life Prediction of a Highway Bridge

Abstract: Accurate measurement-data interpretation leads to increased understanding of structural behavior and enhanced asset-management decision making. In this paper, four datainterpretation methodologies, residual minimization, traditional Bayesian model updating, modified Bayesian model updating (with an L -norm-based Gaussian likelihood func-∞ tion), and error-domain model falsification (EDMF), a method that rejects models that have unlikely differences between predictions and measurements, are compared. In the mod… Show more

“…The footstep impact load-function is applied to a single node in simulations and thus, the uncertainty is further increased. The overall simplifications and omissions are estimated to result in a uniform modeluncertainty distribution of [−15, +25] % based on engineering judgement and heuristics (Pai et al, 2018;Proverbio et al, 2018;Reuland et al, 2019).…”

“…EDMF provides robustness for inverse problems in the presence of important uncertainties, including systematic modeling bias. EDMF is most useful when typical assumptions of traditional Bayesian model updating (independent zero-mean Gaussian distribution of uncertainties) cannot be made (Pai et al, 2018). EDMF has been successfully applied to more than fifteen full-scale systems (Smith, 2016) including structural identification , leak detection in water-supply pipes (Moser et al, 2015), wind simulations (Vernay et al, 2015), fatigue life evaluation (Pasquier et al, 2014(Pasquier et al, , 2016Pai et al, 2018), and post-seismic building assessment (Reuland et al, 2019).…”

“…have formalised the concept of model falsification into a data-interpretation technique, EDMF, that accommodates systematic and biased modelling uncertainties in addition to (generally white-noise) measurement uncertainties. EDMF has been shown to be more accurate than traditional applications of Bayesian model updating for prognosis tasks that involve extrapolation of linear elastic models (Pai, Nussbaumer, & Smith, 2018;Pasquier & Smith, 2015a) as well as nonlinear models (Reuland et al, 2017). Important decisions in the field of asset management (such as remaining-life calculation, repair, extension and improvement through retrofit) require extrapolation of behaviour models beyond the scope of measurements.…”

“…The falsification criteria involves computation of lower and upper threshold bounds (Goulet et al, 2013a;Pasquier and Smith, 2015). The candidate model set is created by those model instances which are not falsified (Papadopoulou et al, 2014;Pai et al, 2018).…”
