Comparison between damage detection methods applied to beam structures
Description
Damage detection methods based on the dynamic measurements of structures are one of the most important techniques for damage evaluation in bridges. The methods considered in this study have been recognized as the most promising tools for damage detection in these structures. Some of these methods were applied during the deliberate damage of Z24 Bridge in Switzerland and I-24 Bridge in USA. These methods have been evaluated in different cases and therefore it is difficult to decide which method is the best for the particular purpose. The comparison of these methods will be done using simulations performed in a composite simply supported bridge. Almost all the methods provided good results when noise was not taken into account. However, accuracy of these methods is still limited when noise is present during acquisition of the dynamic response.
