Abstract
Situations that justify structural measurements continue to increase in number and in importance. Measurement-data interpretation has become the principle scientific challenge for such activities. This paper summarizes a study of quantifying modeling uncertainties using the Grand-Mere Bridge located in Canada. This case study demonstrates that modeling errors involve systematic biases and that these biases can affects data interpretation and ultimately, the quality of infrastructure-management support. The impact of systematic errors on traditional data-interpretation approach is discussed.
