Description
Summary:In recent years there has been constant concern in the scientific community to identify techniques for damage detection in structures. Such apprehension has contributed to the progressive development of Structural Health Monitoring. This paper proposes a methodology using Continuous Wavelet Transform associated with interpolation and regularization techniques applied to the experimental and numerical mode shapes of the Dogna Bridge using only the damaged bridge responses. Dogna Bridge is a four-span, single-lane concrete bridge, 64m long and 4m wide. The results of the analyses are presented and discussed in this paper
