Abstract Regular use and the effects of time can affect the behavior of a structure. Over time, problems such as the occurrence of small fissures, oxidation of steel elements, and excessive displacements at some points may arise in a structure. In this context, the monitoring of structures through experimental tests has gained more importance, because it allows for the identification of the dynamic characteristics (natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping rate) of structures. The dynamic characteristics can be obtained through forced vibration tests, which are based on measuring the response of a structure subjected to an excitation of known magnitude, or through tests in which only the structural response is measured, such as free vibration and ambient vibration tests. The present study aims to identify the modal parameters of bridge 44 of the Carajás Railroad, using experimental data obtained on site by monitoring the vibration caused by a group of people jumping, and it compares them with the results obtained through numerical modeling performed using the finite element method, developed in CSiBridge. The modal parameters were obtained using the commercial software ARTeMIS Modal, and stochastic subspace identification was used for modal identification.

The results of analytical and numerical modeling of dynamic characteristics of linear and non-linear mathematical models of the “trolley-load” system of bridge and container cranes are presented. KiDyM software complex is used for numerical modeling, which, based on the use of the apparatus of structural matrices and the built-in computer algebra system, allows the construction of ordinary differential equations of motion of the class of systems under consideration at the analytical level. Recommendations on the possible use of the considered mathematical models of the “trolley-load” system in various regular and forced operation modes of bridge and container cranes are given on the basis of the analysis. The ratio of the results of calculations for various design models of regular and forced operation of the bridge crane has been established. The magnitude of the distribution of the maximum values of the dynamic characteristics of motion of the container crane has been designed by calculating the forced operation mode using various mathematical models.

Numerical modeling of the problem of dam monitoring by the Electrical Resistivity Tomography method is carried out. The mathematical model is based on integral equations with a partial Fourier transform with respect to one spatial variable. It is assumed that the measurement line is located across the dam longitude. To approximate the shape of the dam surface, the Radial Basic Functions method is applied. The influence of locations of the water-dam, dam-basement, basement-leakage boundaries with respect to the sounding installation, which is partially placed under the headwater, is studied. Numerical modeling is carried out for the following varied parameters: 1) water level at the headwater; 2) the height of the leak; 3) the depth of the leak; 4) position of the supply electrode; 5) water level and leaks positions are changing simultaneously. Modeling results are presented in the form of apparent resistivity curves, as it is customary in geophysical practice.
