As the bridges continue to age, it is imperative to identify structurally deficient bridges at an
early stage to prevent unexpected maintenance needs. A quasi-static method is developed …

Preventive measures must be implemented to preclude severe damage to bridge structures
and thus avoid catastrophic accidents. A potential method for bridge damage identification is …

This paper reports a two-stage damage detection method for effectively identifying multi-
damage in composite plate structures. The first stage focuses on detecting damage locations …

With the development of optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR)-based distributed
strain sensing technology and static influence line (IL) measurement concept, the special …

Most of existing time domain methods fail to identify the unknown structural parameter in the
ambient condition, because the force location is unknown and the number of unknown …

Purpose This study aims to perform dynamic response analysis of damaged rigid-frame
bridges under multiple moving loads using analytical based transfer matrix method (TMM) …

Bridge influence lines can reflect the performance status of bridge structures and are an
important tool to evaluate high-speed railway bridges. Because a high-speed train can …

Influence line (IL)–based damage indices for long-span bridges are investigated in this
study. Their effectiveness is experimentally validated for the first time through the scaled …

The influence line (IL) contains information induced by a unit force applied at any cross-
section of the bridge, and its change can be used for damage identification. However …

The necessity of baseline data in current damage detection methodologies limits their
applications in practice, so it is essential to implement baseline-free damage detection of …
