Introduction Recently civil structures tend to be larger than before, and so their maintenance and management have become dominant issues for securing their safety and long life.
According to the findings described above, it is proved that the model-improvement is effectively applicable to the health monitoring system using the ambient vibration caused by wind and traffic inflicted on the structures.� Acknowledgments This work is supported by grant No.R01-2005-000-10426-0(2005) from the Basic Research Program of the Korea Science & Engineering Foundation.
