| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Damages (such as tension crack, corrosion and partial fracture) and damage –induced local damping increment in steel member, concrete member and steel-concrete interface are first experimentally studied to discuss the mechanism of local damping increased by local damages. The evaluation method of structural health condition for steel, RC and PC bridges is then proposed by developing a hybrid method of experimental and analytical modal syntheses based on ambient vibration measurement and global damping change monitoring. The method of ambient vibration measurement is carefully studied for optimizing it as a system and the identification of global damping change in bridges is refined with FE model updating method. How to implement the proposed method of bridge health evaluation to the Bridge Management System was finally discussed.
