Abstract

Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (B-WIM) is the concept of using measured response on a bridge to calculate the static weights of passing traffic loads as they pass overhead at full highway speed. This paper describes an enhancement to the Moving Force Identification (MFI) algorithm by estimating the response of some DOFs using limited number of measurements in order to increase measurements number (Input). The pseudoinverse of the mode shape matrix has been utilized to approximately calculate the modal response using limited measured response. Then the calculated modal response has been used to estimate more DOFs that are different from the measured one. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique is employed to determine the governing modes that increase the modal response accuracy. Numerical example for quarter car model passing over simply supported bridge has been established to demonstrate the idea.
