These features has brought greater difficulty to the model updating in civil engineering structure, especially for the application field.
At the end of this paper, the problems remained to be solved in FEM updating of civil structures are to be presented. 1 Introduction In the studies and development of civil engineering subject, structural health monitoring of bridges hold a significant field.
With the existence of all the factors above, the problem of FEM updating in civil engineering becomes more complicated and challenging.
While for the real civil engineering, the structural modal tests are usually the environmental excitation, the input information of which is unknown or undetectable.
Thus, how to solve the problems of condition revise of nodes and boundaries remains non-neglectable. 3.4 Development of model updating algorithm suiting civil engineering structure In recent years, although the model updating skills have been applied in civil engineering structure like the FEM of bridge structure[33-35], building structure[36,37] and offshore platform structure[38,39], most of the present studies just transplant the existing correcting algorithms to the model updating of civil engineering structure.

Analysis of Load Transfer Mechanism with Rock-soil Anchoring Technology in Soil Tension-type Prestressed Anchor for Civil Engineering Xiaoyong Wang 1, a, Jing Cao 1,b and Huaixi Zuo 2,c 1Department of Civil Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, 650500, China 2 Yunnan branch of Jian Yan Foundation Engineering Co.
The load transfer of anchorage section is the key to the civil engineering design and performance controls of the anchor.
Several theoretic models for load transfer mechanism are compared and their insufficiencies are pointed out from the view point of civil engineering application.
Till now, there is no one model can accurately describe shear stress distribution in civil engineering.
For practical civil engineering, the working stage of most anchors can be illustrated by Fig. 4(b) and Fig.4(c).
