Damage Detection through Changes in Frequency Base on Reinforced Concrete Beam
The detection of the structur[1]al damage by the method of changes in frequency is limited in detecting single location of the structural damage. This paper try to solve the problems of how to detect the multi-location of the structural damages and the corresponding severity. Therefore, a simple supported large-size reinforced concrete beam in different damage conditions is simulated by the finite element software-ANSYS. Cruves of frequency changes ratio can be maped by the date of the simulation, the locations of damages and corresponding severity can be detection by judging the superposition of the intersections of many curves of the frequent changes ratio. The simulation results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper cannot only detection the multi-locations of the structural damages accurately, but also analyze the severity of the structural damages qualitatively.
