Structural Health Monitoring of Precast Concrete Box Girders Using Selected Vibration-Based Damage Detection Methods by Zhengjie Zhou, Leon D. Wegner, Bruce F. Sparling

“…This paper demonstrates that vibration-based damage detection (VBDD) is an effective alternative for monitoring their structural health. A box girder removed from a dismantled bridge was used to evaluate the ability of five different VBDD algorithms to detect and localize low levels of spalling damage, with a focus on using a small number of sensors and only the fundamental mode of vibration. …”
