Response Surface-Based Finite Element Model Updating of Steel Box-Girder Bridges with Concrete Composite Decks by Cheng-Qi Xiong, Zhi-Wen Zhu, Jin Jiang

“…Finite element analysis (FEA) and field measurements of the dynamic characteristics of steel box girder bridges were carried out in this study, and the finite element model was updated based on the response surface method. The studies show that the bridge modal parameters can be reasonably identified based on the measurements of the bridge under ambient excitation without artificial excitation; the first six orders of mode shapes in the FEA results are consistent with the measured ones, but there is a difference between the natural frequencies; the model updating found that the elasticity modulus, density, and thickness of the SFRC have some influence on the first six orders of natural frequency of the bridge, but the SFRC thickness has the most significant influence on the bridge frequency, and the influence of epoxy asphalt pavement on bridge frequency is small. …”
