Notes:
For purposes of monitoring and damage prognosis it is important to know the externalloads which act on a structure. The knowledge of these loads enables us to make an assessment ofdamage after extreme events and updated forecasts of the remaining life-time. In many practicalapplications it is not possible to measure the forces e.g. resulting from wind loads or traffic directly.Therefore, these forces are determined indirectly from dynamic measurements. In this contribution,an updated overview of available time domain load reconstruction methods is presented. An attemptof highlighting the main advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, which are used inengineering is done. The importance of sensors type as well as their locations is considered for eachapproach. Finally, the methods applicability to real structures, where the online reconstruction playsan important role, is discussed
