La Marsa, 2078, TUNISIAABSTRACTAn overview of the research activities conducted by the members of the Systems and Applied Mechanics Laboratory (SAML) at Ecole Polytechnique de Tunisie, Tunisia, is first presented. Specific activities within the area of Civil Engineering are more emphasized. Second, a summary of the application of a rational methodology for the structural assessment of reinforced concrete bridges and historical buildings will be given. This methodology is based on ambient vibration measurement, identification modal signature and linear and nonlinear finite element model updating of these structures. Finally, SAML future research activities, which call for international collaboration, are presented.
