Bridge influence line identification using convex programming from Bridge Weigh-in-Motion strain signals

The influence line for a point on a structure shows how shear force or bending moment, or typical strain components, at that point changes as a unit load moves along the structure. The bridge influence line can be used in Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (BWIM) systems and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems. Influence line identification from measurement data is a possible alternative to Finite Element Method-based solutions since measurement-based approaches do not need model validation, and expe
