The concept of vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) originated from the investigation of high-speed trains in 1990s. Based on this idea, further extension to extract bridge frequencies from a passing vehicle has gradually become an important method in the indirect measurement since 2004, especially in the field of structural health monitoring of bridge structures. Since then, various related topics have been widely studied, including the extraction of bridge modal parameters, investigation of frequency variation for a VBI system, full-scale experiment and scale test, three-dimensional modelling, etc. In this regard, this minisymposium aims at providing a forum for worldwide researchers to present new research developments centered on vehicle-bridge interaction and its applications to bridges, but not limited to the above.
