Based on the curvature modal damage identification of wavelet analysis principle, the finite element method was applied to analyze the vibration characteristics of the damaged deck arch bridge. Take Haar wavelet as the mother wavelet, through the continuous wavelet transform of curvature mode and then identified the damaged position by the maximum of wavelet coefficients. analyze the damage identification problem under three different damaged conditions (condition 1: only the arch 1 contained one damaged location; condition 2: the arch 1 and the arch 2 contained one damaged location respectively; condition 3: the arch 1 contained two damaged locations and the arch 2 contained one damaged location).This paper provided a valuable reference of damage identification and diagnosis for arch bridge.
