Bridge Damage Severity Quantification Using Multipoint Acceleration Measurement and Artificial Neural Networks

The deterioration of bridges as a result of ageing is a serious problem in many countries. To prevent the failure of these deficient bridges, early damage detection which helps us to evaluate the safety of bridges is important. Therefore, the present research proposed a method to quantify damage sev...
