Preface
Civil Structures Topics represents one of six clusters of technical papers presented at the 29th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2011 organized by the Society for Experimental Mechanics, and held in Jacksonville, Florida, January 31 - February 3, 2011. The full proceedings also include volumes on Advanced Aerospace Applications; Modal Analysis, Linking Models and Experiments, Rotating Machinery, Structural Health Monitoring, Shock and Vibration; and Sensors, Instrumentation, and Special Topics. Each collection presents early findings from experimental and computational investigations on an important area within Structural Dynamics. The current volume on Civil Structures Topics includes studies on Human Loading, Vibration Control, Bridges, Modal Parameter Identification, System Identification, Modal Testing, Experimental Techniques, and Processing Modal Data. Understanding the dynamic response of large civil structures improves design and safety, extends life, and reduces maintenance. IMAC has become a principle technical venue for dissemination of the latest techniques devoted to field testing of civil structural systems and components, processing of response data and identification of dynamic structural properties, calibration and validation of numerical structural models, and assessment of structural condition based on dynamic properties. The organizers would like to thank the authors, presenters, session organizers and session chairs for their participation in this track.
