IDENTIFICATION OF RAILWAY BRIDGES USING LOCOMOTIVE INDUCED VIBRATION AND ARMA MODEL

In this paper a discrete-time procedure for stiffness identification of bridge structures by using discrete-time filters and recordings from the locomotive excited railway bridges is presented. As an example, structural stiffnesses of a steel riveted through truss railway bridge were identified by using the acceleration measurements captured during the dynamic test.
