Introduction

Structural health monitoring using dynamic response measurement has received a tremendous attention over the last decades. A number of methods have been developed, including the novelty measure technique (Worden 1997), the GA-based substructural identification methods (Koh and Shankar 2003), and the evolutionary strategy (Franco et al. 2004). On the other hand, the Bayesian inference (Beck and Katafygiotis 1998; Beck 2010; Yuen 2010a) using probability logic provides a rigorous solution to parametric identification and uncertainty quantification for different problems in structural and geotechnical engineering, such as modal identification using nonstationary noisy response measurements (Yuen and Katafygiotis 2005; Yuen et al. 2006a), ambient vibration survey (Yuen and...
