ABSTRACT
In recent years, engineering community has turned its attention to monitor the integrity of critical civil infrastructures specially the aged civil infrastructures in order to ensure public safety; despite of a great deal of research in this field, a robust and reliable damage detection method that can be applied in large scale civil structure under real world condition to detect, allocate and evaluate damage has not yet been demonstrated. In this study the viability of five well-known methods in localisation of damage in presence of noise is examined.
