Abstract

In this study, a multi-phase model update approach for system identification of real railway bridge using vibration test results is present. First, a multi-phase system identification scheme designed on the basis of eigenvalue sensitivity concept is proposed. Next, the proposed multi-phase approach is evaluated from field vibration tests on Wondongcheon bridge which is a steel girder railway bridge located in Yangsan, South Korea. On the bridge, a few natural frequencies and mode shapes are experimentally measured under the excitation of trains, ambient vibration and free vibration. The corresponding modal parameters are numerically calculated from a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model which is established for the target bridge. Eigenvalue sensitivities are analyzed for potential model-updating parameters of the FE model. Then, structural subsystems are identified phase-by-phase using the proposed model update procedure. Based on model update results, a baseline model of the Wondongcheon railway bridge is identified.
