Identification, control & structural health monitoring of civil structures.

In last years, there has been a significant increase of Civil Structures equipped with control and dynamic monitoring systems. This is due to recent technologic advances associated to the interest of the scientific and technical community in observing and mitigating vibrations induced by different types of dynamic loads (e.g. earthquakes, wind, railway, roadway or pedestrian traffic, etc.), as well as to the development of efficient tools for vibration based Structural Health Monitoring, using new sensing technologies and analytical methods from system identification and operational modal analysis. In this context, this mini-symposium will be a forum of discussion where some of the most recent works and developments in this area will be presented.
