Abstract

This paper builds on the review of structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage assessment approaches provided in a companion paper by presenting an application of the damage locating vector (DLV) approach to the experimental (Phase II) data obtained from the experimental benchmark structure of the IASC-ASCE task group on SHM, which is a laboratory (scaled) size steel frame. Different damage conditions were simulated in the frame for braced and unbraced configurations, and the DLV technique was used to detect and localize damage. The damage identification results were presented and the successes and limitations of the DLV method in detecting and locating the simulated damages were discussed.

 

Key words: Structural health monitoring (SHM), damage locating vector (DLV), damages, braced, unbraced.
