This paper proposes a reliability estimation methodology which utilizes system identification results obtained from vibration measurements. A series of earthquake and white noise excitations are imposed to a three-bent reinforced concrete bridge by three-shaking tables, simultaneously. Progressive structural damage is measured and observed, in accordance with increasing intensities of damaging events. Response measurements are obtained by accelerometers located on the deck and the columns of the bridge. Finite element models for non-updated and updated cases were obtained with and without considering acceleration measurements, respectively. Afterwards, damage detection and reliability estimation were carried out for these two cases using fragility curves.
