چکیده

this paper presents the application of three main artificial neural networks (anns) in damage detection of steel bridges. this method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. the changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. to circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear nature of the inverse problem, three neural networks, multi-layer perceptron neural network (mlpnn), radial basis function neural network (rbfnn) and general regression neural network (grnn) are employed to simulate damage states of steel bridges. it was observed that the performance of all three networks is well and they have good agreement with actual results performed with finite element analysis. the efficiency of grnn in structural identification is so good, although rbfnn has results close to grnn and mlpnn results are satisfactory. all networks have good results while there is a little damage in structural members. generally, results would have more error when damages in structural members extend. the engineering importance of the whole exercise can be appreciated once we realize that the measured input at only a few locations in the structure is needed in the identification process using neural networks.

Damage detection of truss bridge joints using Artificial Neural Networks

Recent developments in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have opened up new possibilities in the domain of inverse problems. For inverse problems like structural identification of large structures (such as bridges) where in situ measured data are expected to be imprecise and often incomplete, ANNs may hold greater promise. This study presents a method for estimating the damage intensities of jo...

Structural damage detection of steel bridge girder using artificial neural networks and finite element models

Damage in structures often leads to failure. Thus it is very important to monitor structures for the occurrence of damage. When damage happens in a structure the consequence is a change in its modal parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are inspired by human biological neurons and have been applied for damage identification with varied success...

Seismic Retrofit of Bridge Steel Truss Pier Anchorage Connections

In assessments of the seismic adequacy of existing steel bridges, the steel-to-concrete anchorage connections typically found at the base of steel truss piers can be potentially vulnerable, having little to no ductility and inadequate strength to resist seismic demands. Many other non-ductile failure locations may also exist along the seismic load path. Failure would result in unacceptable perf...

Title: Performance Comparison of Different Autoregressive Damage Features Using Acceleration Measurements from a Truss Bridge

Time series analysis has been applied to structural monitoring signals for system damage identification in a number of research literatures. Among various time series analysis tools, univariate autoregressive modeling (AR) is one of the most commonly used methods because of its innate computational efficiency. In this paper, three autoregressive damage features extracted directly from the ambie...
