Bridge damage detection using rotation measurements – Experimental validation

Damage Detection of Bridge using Wireless Sensors

Bridges are essential links in any surface transportation network. A damage to an important bridge may result in enduring economic loss due to partial or complete closure of the route in addition to the cost of repair or replacement. Also, survival of bridges are of utmost importance in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in order to facilitate rescue operations. Therefore, it has become ...

Damage Detection of Bridge by Rayleigh-Ritz Method

As a result of environmental and accidental actions, damage occurs in structures. The early detection of any defect can be achieved by regular inspection and condition assessment. In this way, the safety and reliability of structures can be increased. This paper is devoted to propose a new and effective method for detecting, locating, and quantifying beam-like structures. This method is based o...

Damage detection of truss bridge joints using Artificial Neural Networks

Recent developments in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have opened up new possibilities in the domain of inverse problems. For inverse problems like structural identification of large structures (such as bridges) where in situ measured data are expected to be imprecise and often incomplete, ANNs may hold greater promise. This study presents a method for estimating the damage intensities of jo...
