Abstract

The diagnosis of the location of structural damage and its extent after an earthquake using numerical methods is one of the ongoing research topics. After the occurrence of damage in a structure and a reduction in its stiffness, the dynamic characteristics of the structure change, and therefore, assessing the changes in its dynamic characteristics can be used as an indicator for detecting damage. In this article, an advanced technique called Direct Stiffness Calculation (DSC) and a new damage index based on flexural stiffness variations (SVI) are utilized for damage detection in structures. Initially, the proposed technique is examined on a steel beam with known specifications. Then, a reinforced concrete moment frame is modeled, and after extracting its dynamic characteristics, it is subjected to a pushover analysis to create a damage scenario without direct intervention. Based on the analysis results, the plastic hinge formation location at both ends of the beam is selected as the probable location of damage in the floor. By using the modal information of the damaged structure and calculating the SVI in the beams of the floors, it is determined that this index can accurately and significantly distinguish the location of damage only by knowing the first mode of the structure and with sufficient magnification compared to other points. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that with this method, it is possible to accurately determine the location of damage even without knowing the dynamic characteristics of the intact structure and solely with the information of the damaged structure.
