Abstract
This paper presents a feasibility investigation for bridge health monitoring (BHM) using bridge vibration data induced by a single moving vehicle. An inverse problem taken from a linear equation of the element stiffness index (ESI) which provides the location and severity of damages in bridges is solved using the ordinary least-squares and regularized least-squares methods. The numerical example demonstrates feasibility of the method to bridge condition screening, even though there remain many tasks to make the procedure practically applicable.
