Framework for Flexural Rigidity Estimation in Euler-Bernoulli Beams Using Deformation Influence Lines

Abstract: Structural degradation is an inevitable part of a structure's service life. Detecting structural impairments and assessing their nature is a significant challenge. Degradations reduce structural system stiffness and subsequently affect system deformations. An appropriate structural health index that is able to capture these changes in deformation and relate them to a structural system stiffness may help engineers to adequately rate structural condition. This paper outlines a theoretical framework for the utili… Show more

“…However, the drawback of the proposal is that it requires deformation measurements at many locations along the length of the structure, which makes bridge closures likely. Zeinali et al (2017Zeinali et al ( , 2018 present a novel theoretical framework for estimating the flexural stiffness of a bridge deck using its deflection or rotation responses to a moving load. It is demonstrated through numerical and relatively simple experimental studies that the stiffness of the entire bridge span can be estimated.…”

“…One disadvantage of this method is its dependence on an accurate finite element model (FEM), which brings extra difficulties and errors to practical applications. Zeinali and Story (2017) proposed a theoretical framework for estimating the flexural rigidity based on the second derivative of DIL and identifying both the location and severity of damage. This damage quantification method can be performed without establishing FEMs, and its damage index has a clear physical meaning.…”
