Abstract
Reinforced concrete structures such as bridges do not only have to be built, but must also be maintained to preserve their operational reliability. It is most essential for cost minimized maintenance to identify damage as soon as possible. Traditionally used visual inspection methods are very time-consuming and costly. Alternatively global parameters including their changes can be used to assess a structure’s condition. Aim of the presented work done within project AIFIT is the development of robust identification methods suitable for practical use. This paper shows different approaches considered, ranging from quasi-static techniques such as bending lines and influence lines to several methods based on modal data. Following the theory and requirements all techniques are applied to laboratory tests. For this nine 2-span bars were concreted, damaged stepwise and several measurements performed to gain the necessary input data. Finally the results of all methods are compared and verified against each other.
