Abstract: | This application-oriented paper presents comparison of various broadband frequency based structural damage localization indices using experimental data from a full-scale structure known as the I-40 Bridge. First, three ‘damage-sensitive’ response parameters determined in the time and/or spectral domain, modal domain and wavelet domain are presented for damage localization in the context of a ‘non-model-based’ damage identification approach. Secondly, experimental modal data (namely natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping) obtained from this full-scale bridge subjected to various damage conditions is employed for assessment of the robustness of these methods on ‘real-world’ applications. Consequently, the results obtained are compared with those obtained from existing resonance frequency based damage identification methods. The results obtained demonstrate the improved capability of the broadband methods to localize damage in a full-scale structure despite sparse modal information and limited measurement grid points. |
