Damage Detection of Continuous Box Girder Based on Modal Flexibility Curvature Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The modal flexibility was more effective than structural frequency and displacement mode on damage detection of structures, it could be calculated easily based on low order mode of box girder. The damage detection method was proposed based on the modal flexibility curvature in this article, this indicator considered the impact of length difference of adjacent elements on modal flexibility matrix. Damage sensitivities of indicators is contrasted. Calculating results show that flexibility curvature difference has good detection effect on single point damage, multi-point damage and side element damage. The method in this article has good effect on damage detection of box girder.
