Last week I attended the 17th IABSE Congress in Chicago.  My colleague Dr. Nagayama presented a paper with me as the a co writer. The conference was great. Most of participants are engineers from big firms and famous consultants companies. Few are from academics. This sort of mixed audience is good for a change. It’s always a good thing to get feedbacks from engineers.

This is the paper presented at IABSE congress. It’s a modification of our previous works on bridge monitoring using ambient and seismic response. There are lots of paper that are very interesting to me, especially about long span bridge and tall building.  I’ll post them next time.

Couple of days before IABSE Conference we visited the UIUC at Urbana-Champaign, where I visited Prof. Spencer’s Lab and participated on  measurement of an old truss bridge using IMOTE2. The measurement was lead by Nagayama, couple of students from UIUC assisted us. It was a great experience. The collaboration was featured in UIUC research buletin.
