And Performance

Mechanics-based dynamic models are commonly used in the design and performance assessment of structural systems, and their accuracy can be improved by integrating models with measured data. This paper provides an overview of hierarchical Bayesian model updating which has been recently developed for probabilistic integration of models with measured data, while accounting for different sources of uncertainties and modeling errors. The proposed hierarchical Bayesian framework allows one to explicitly account for pertinent sources of variability such as ambient temperatures and/or excitation amplitudes, as well as modeling errors, and therefore yields more realistic predictions. The paper reports observations from applications of hierarchical approach to three full-scale civil structural systems, namely (1) a footbridge, (2) a 10-story reinforced concrete (RC) building, and (3) a damaged 2-story RC building. The first application highlights the capability of accounting for temperature effects within the hierarchical framework, while the second application underlines the effects of considering bias for prediction error. Finally, the third application considers the effects of excitation amplitude on structural response. The findings underline the importance and capabilities of the hierarchical Bayesian framework for structural identification. Discussions of its advantages and performance over classical deterministic and Bayesian model updating methods are provided.
