Finite element model updating of a tied-arch bridge using Douglas-Reid method and Rosenbrock optimization algorithm

Condition assessment of bridges has become increasingly important. In order to accurately simulate the real bridge, finite element (FE) model updating method is often applied. This paper presents the calibration of the FE model of a reinforced concrete tied-arch bridge using Douglas-Reid method in c...
