Abstract:This study presents a major development to the wave method, a methodology used for identifying dynamic and material characteristics of a structure via motion waves in the structure. The research team tested the method for use in structural damage detection and damage localization in bridges following an earthquake, the latter being a challenging task. The main goal was to assess the ability of the method by applying it to a shake-table tested prototype bridge. The bridge tested at the University of Nevada Reno, was a 4-span reinforced concrete structure comprising two columns at each bent (6 columns total) and a flat slab. It was tested using seven base excitations, which progressively damaged the bridge to failure.
