Damage Identification in Hangers of Through-Arch Bridges Using Static Deflection Difference at the Anchorage Point

This study proposes a new damage identification method for hangers of arch bridges using the static deflection difference at the anchorage point of the hanger and the tie-beam. The relationship between the ratio of cable tension loss and the deflection difference at the anchorage point is studied. F...

Damage Identification in Hangers of Through-Arch Bridges Using Static Deflection Difference at the Anchorage Point
description This study proposes a new damage identification method for hangers of arch bridges using the static deflection difference at the anchorage point of the hanger and the tie-beam. The relationship between the ratio of cable tension loss and the deflection difference at the anchorage point is studied. For the first time, the deflection difference influence matrix for hanger damage identification is defined. The static deflection change parameter is formulated as a function of the deflection difference influence matrix and the ratio of cable tension loss. The study shows that the percentage of cable tension loss can be obtained from the changes in static deflection at the anchorage point and the deflection difference influence matrix. Therefore, by observing a plot of the ratio of cable tension loss, the damage locations can be identified conveniently. Numerical and laboratory studies show that this method can accurately locate the damaged hanger of through-arch bridges under various scenarios. The proposed damage detection method has a clear theoretical base and is simple to operate, and it is suitable for practical engineering.
