What is it about?

The study proposed a technique to reduce the limitations of modal identification in damage detection using reduced field data for nondestructive structural health monitoring of a cable-stayed concrete bridge.

Why is it important?

The use of the regressed-mode shapes for the RC bridge model showed very large residuals around the areas of the damage. The results showed that the method was successful in assisting to reduce the limitations of modal identification in locating damage on a bridge model with limited field data.

Perspectives

The method was found to be comparable to other techniques proposed by other researchers in terms of its simplicity.
