The primary objective of the research is to develop a methodology for           practical and reliable identification of analytical models of                   engineered structures.  The methodology is based on the complex                 interrelationship between (1) an initial model, (2) experimentation and         data processing, (3) algorithms to extract global response parameters           and to estimate local characteristics, and (4) procedures to update the         model through an iterative process.  The novel feature of the idea is           to implement step-by-step identification procedures based on test               results of several laboratory specimens.  The specimens are selected            with known or controlled characteristics.  In each step the source of           error and uncertainty is investigated and dealt with.  Initial                  specimens considered will be comprised of several cracked prestressed           or reinforced concrete beams with different distributions of stiffness,         support flexibility, and continutity.
