ABSTRACT

In this paper, a novel damage detection method for beam bridge based on moving sensing-filtering integrated system is proposed. In this method, the single moving sensor is used to measure the acceleration signal of the moving vehicle, and a moving filter function with a fixed window length is used to scan the measured signal to locate the damage. The performance of the method in the numerical simulation on a simply supported beam demonstrates the proposed method is a good candidate in damage localization. This method uses only a single sensor and it is a baseline free data-driven method, which is very important in practical application of structures.
