Frequency Estimation on Two-Span Continuous Bridges Using Dynamic Responses of Passing Vehicles
Researchers in the structural health monitoring field have recently focused on using instrumented vehicles, usually equipped with accelerometers, as mobile bridge inspection instruments. The vehicle plays two roles: that of the measurement device and that of the excitation source. Permanent changes to the bridge’s stiffness due to damage or wear may manifest as changes in the bridge’s fundamental frequencies. In vehicle-based inspection, bridge frequencies are extracted from vehicle responses. These bridge frequencies may be estimated periodically as a continuing bridge condition assessment. This paper establishes closed-form solutions for bridge and vehicle vibration as a vehicle traverses a two-span continuous bridge and provides a method of bridge frequency extraction from vehicle response. Results are validated using finite-element simulations and compared against the literature. Results show that bridge frequencies observed by the vehicle manifest as two peaks shifted below and above the fundamental bridge frequency. These shifts are linear functions and the average of these shifted bridge frequencies approximates the fundamental bridge frequency to within 7% error; this error decreases to 2% for equal spans.
