About

About

Part-time researcher working in several topics involving structural dynamics.

Goal of research

The research is intended to contribute to the knowledge to enable record-breaking bridge spans along the Coastal Highway E39.

Monitoring of existing structures

Both to enable safer and more cost-efficient designs of bridges or to extend the bridge technology, a good understanding of the behaviour of existing bridges is highly valuable. To achieve this, structural montitoring is an indispensable tool.

Furthermore, structural monitoring can play a crucial role in asset management by detecting changes or a structure's integrity.

Prediction methodology

Extension of span lengths might cause the emergence of new dynamic effects. Therefore, it is very important that the prediction methodology used for these bridges is able to capture these effects.

Research interests and focus areas

  • Long-span bridges: floating bridges, suspension bridges
  • Full-scale structural monitoring and data sharing
  • Operational modal analysis
  • Stochastic structural dynamics
  • Wave excitation modelling
  • Structural health monitoring
  • Modal analysis and techniques
