Investigation of Damage Detection in Bridge Piers using modal strain energy and modal flexibility methods: A Case Study
Reza Zamanian
Abstract:Piers provide vertical support to the bridge deck and transfer loads to the foundation and ground. Ensuring their stability and structural integrity is critical to the overall safety of the bridge. The most common existing methods for damage detection, mainly used in bridge decks due to easier access and simpler modeling, are modal methods. The primary focus of this study is to explore the feasibility of utilizing these methods to detect damage in bridge piers, assuming that accurate mode shapes can be obtaine… Show more
