Impairment localization and quantification using noisy static deformation influence lines and Iterative Multi-parameter Tikhonov Regularization

Bridge structures decay throughout their lives even under nominal operating conditions. As bridge infrastructure ages and wears naturally or under extreme load, there is a need to monitor and evaluate bridge performance in an efficient way. This paper presents an impairment detection method that assesses the curvature of noisy static deformation influence lines to predict the location and severity of structural damage. In this method, a...
