Pre-stack migration imaging (PMI) method, which is used in geophysical exploration by the performance of single side detection and visually display, can be used to identify the location, orientation, and severity of damages in concrete structure. In particular, this letter focuses on the experimental study by using a finite number of sensors for further practical applications. A concrete structure with a surface-mounted linear PZT transducers array is illustrated. Three types of damages, horizontal, dipping and V-shaped crack damage, have been studied. A pre-stack reverse time migration technique is used to back-propagate the scattering waves and to image damages in concrete structure. The migration results from the scattering waves of an artificial damage are presented. It is shown that the existence of the damage in concrete structure is correctly revealed through migration process.     

Study on interface failure of shape memory alloy （SMA） reinforced smart structure with damages

Shape memory alloy (SMA) reinforced smart structure can be used to make structural shape and strength self-adapted and structural damage self-restrained. Although SMA smart structures without damages were extensively studied, researches on SMA smart structures with damages have rarely been reported thus far. In this paper, thermo-mechanical behaviors of SMA fiber reinforced smart structures with damages are analyzed through a shear lag model and the variational principle. Mathematical expressions of the meso-displacement field and the stress-strain field of a typical element with damages are obtained, and a failure criterion for interface failure between SMA fibers and matrix is established, which is applied to an example. Results presented herein may provide a theoretical foundation for further studies on integrity of SMA smart structures.The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10072026, 50135030) and Aeronautical Science Foundation of China (01G52041)The English text was polished by Keren Wang.

A 2-D continuous wavelet transform of mode shape data for damage detection of plate structures

A two-dimensional (2-D) continuous wavelet transform (CWT)-based damage detection algorithm using “Dergauss2d” wavelet for plate-type structures is presented. The 2-D CWT considered in this study is based on the formulation by Antoine et al. (2004). A concept of isosurface of 2-D wavelet coefficients is proposed, and it is generated to indicate the location and approximate shape or area of the damage. The proposed algorithm is a response-based damage detection technique which only requires the mode shapes of the damaged plates. This algorithm is applied to the numerical vibration mode shapes of a cantilever plate with different types of damage to illustrate its effectiveness and viability. A comparative study with other two 2-D damage detection algorithms, i.e., 2-D gapped smoothing method (GSM) and 2-D strain energy method (SEM), is performed, and it demonstrates that the proposed 2-D CWT-based algorithm is superior in noise immunity and robust with limited sensor data. The algorithm is further implemented in an experimental modal test to detect impact damage in an FRP composite plate using smart piezoelectric actuators and sensors, demonstrating its applicability to the experimental mode shapes. The present 2-D CWT-based algorithm is among a few limited studies in the literature to explore the application of 2-D wavelets in damage detection, and as demonstrated in this study, it can be used as a viable and effective technique for damage identification of plate- or shell-type structures.

基于细观混凝土模型的时间逆转损伤成像方法

提出了一种针对混凝土结构损伤检测的时间逆转损伤成像方法.以检测混凝土结构中与骨料尺寸相近的微小损伤为目的,引入细观混凝土随机骨料模型,该模型将混凝土结构视为由水泥浆基底、骨料及粘接层组成的三相复合材料,基于Monte Carlo随机样本原理并结合真实试件的骨料级配曲线建立.在数值模拟分析中,将生成含损伤的细观模型导入有限元分析软件进行超声波场模拟,同时采用自适应性强的时间逆转模型(time reversed model,TRM)进行损伤定位.TRM分为正向检测和逆时成像两个部分:正向检测过程得到包含损伤的一系列散射回波信号,从数值角度进行时间反演并作为逆时过程的输入信号;逆时成像过程选用等效弹性参数模型,几何尺寸与随机骨料模型相同,时反信号在相应几何位置同时加载形成时反波场,时反波场在损伤位置会发生干涉叠加从而导致能量峰值的出现,通过确定干涉峰值时刻,并获取该时刻对应原始波场以及小波变换能量场完成成像.与原始数据波场图相比,小波变换处理成像结果消除了杂波干扰,成像结果更加清晰.进一步对等效弹性参数的取值进行讨论,并且在骨料尺寸范围内调整损伤大小,结果显示成像结果匹配度高,对于非均质混凝土结构的损伤检测能很好满足损伤定位需求.由此证明,时间逆转成像方法对于具有复杂结构的混凝土材料的损伤检测具有较好的适用性.

Variation of Small Amplitude Vibration Dynamic Properties with Displacement in Reinforced Concrete Structures

Correlating damage level and changes in dynamic characteristics of a structure forms the basis for damage detection techniques in structural health monitoring. In reinforced concrete building structures such correlation is not well established. A damage detection technique capable of identifying the structural condition of the system based on its small amplitude vibration response is desirable because such response is easier to obtain. It is a common practice in engineering applications to estimate dynamic parameters from small-amplitude vibrations assuming a linear behavior of the structure. This simplification causes inaccurate estimation of the dynamic properties in reinforced concrete structures due to the presence of nonlinear elastic behavior. In this study no such assumption is made and a linear model is only used for sets of data corresponding to the same displacement amplitude of a nonlinear elastic system. The trends found between small-amplitude vibration dynamic properties and past levels of maximum displacement in various reinforced concrete structures are reported. In addition to analytical and numerical studies, results from a series of laboratory tests are reported to demonstrate the use of the approach. One full-scale three-story reinforced concrete flat-plate building and six small-scale reinforced concrete beams were examined. In this study, small displacements are defined as displacements below an overall drift ratio of 0.03%. The displacement dependence of the dynamic properties is considered explicitly. It was found that while fundamental frequencies of the examined reinforced concrete specimens were found to decrease uniformly as past peak displacement level increased, the equivalent viscous damping ratio was found to increase until the past peak displacement reached the neighborhood of nominal yield displacement and then observed to decrease when the specimens are pushed beyond the nominal yield displacement level, which has not been reported in literature before. Recommendations are provided as to how small amplitude vibration tests should be set up to avoid misleading observations due to nonlinear response at small amplitude response, observations that could lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the damage state of a structure.     

EXPERIMENTAL. MODAL. ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Experimental modal analysis techniques have been shown to be applicable to both laboratory test specimens and in situ test structures made of reinforced concrete. These techniques, in general, apply only to linear structures; however, many concrete structures are designed to remain in the linear, uncracked response region during dynamic excitation (nuclear power plant structures, for example). Data from the experimental analyses agreed well with finite-element modal analysis results, and the numerical models were further refined based on the experimental results. Because of the relatively low excitation levels required, these methods provide engineers with techniques for assessing the as-built condition of a structure without introducing damage into the structure. If a concrete structure is damaged, the experimental modal analysis methods could possibly be used to monitor its deterioration.
Further investigations are needed to evaluate the sensitivity to damage of the experimentally determined modal properties. Also, methods must be found to determine, without prior modal data, if an in-situ structure is in a damaged state. These topics are being pursued by other researchers in the experimental modal analysis field.⁶
In its current form, experimental modal analysis methods can provide both practicing and research engineers with a valuable tool for verifying dynamic properties of reinforced concrete structures.     

ABAQUS混凝土损伤塑性模型中损伤因子的率相关性及实现方法

ABAQUS程序中最常用的混凝土损伤塑性（concrete damage plasticity, CDP）模型无法实现损伤因子与应变率相关。为了准确描述混凝土材料在高应变率下的损伤特性,基于CDP模型定义了新的应变率场变量,编制了VUSDFLD用户子程序,开发了能够考虑损伤因子率相关性的改进的CDP（modified CDP,MCDP）模型。MCDP模型采用能量法求解混凝土拉压损伤因子,主求解程序能够随着应变率场变量的变化而自动更新不同应变率对应的损伤参数,计算得到的混凝土单轴静态加载结果与CDP模型吻合较好。MCDP模型对高应变率下动态压缩性能的模拟结果表明:混凝土材料在不同应变率下的拉压损伤对其动态力学性能有显著影响,编制的VUSDFLD子程序和MCDP模型能够有效地解决损伤应变率相关的模拟难题,可以准确地模拟爆炸荷载作用下钢筋混凝土梁的动态响应,为预测爆炸冲击等强动载作用下混凝土结构的响应和破坏提供了更可靠的技术途径。     

Structural damage localization and evaluation based on modal data via a new evolutionary algorithm

This paper is intended to present a method for the localization and evaluation of damage in plates based on the changes in natural frequencies and mode shapes of the damaged plate using an optimization approach. The colonial competitive algorithm is employed to detect damage (or damages) in plates by optimizing a damage function. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by implementing the technique to two examples; a shear wall and a four-fixed supported plate with and without modal data noise including one or a large number of damages. The results confirm the applicability and efficiency of the presented method in detecting damage localization and quantification in the shear walls. Furthermore, the proposed method is implemented to the four-fixed supported plate aimed at demonstrating the high sensitivity of the proposed method in quantitative estimation of damaged plate structures. Finally, the reliability of the presented method is explored through the comparison of the obtained results and those of the other methods. It is concluded that the proposed method can be viewed as a powerful and robust method for structural damage detection in plate structures.     

Craft––a plastic-damage-contact model for concrete. II. Model implementation with implicit return-mapping algorithm and consistent tangent matrix

A computational strategy for the evaluation of stresses in a finite element implementation of a new plastic-damage-contact model is described. As part of this strategy a new return-mapping algorithm is developed which fully couples plasticity to directional damage on one or more damage surfaces, and which ensures that local and total constitutive relationships are simultaneously satisfied. In addition, an associated consistent tangent matrix is derived. The performance of the model, as implemented with this new strategy, is explored in a range of 2D and 3D examples which include analyses based on direct and indirect fracture tests, a mixed mode fracture test, shear-normal tests in which aggregate interlock is significant and a reinforced concrete test in which cracking, aggregate interlock and crushing all contribute significantly to the behavior. It is concluded that the consistent computational approach gives solutions with good equilibrium convergence properties. Furthermore, it is concluded that the new model, as implemented in the finite element code, is able to represent a wide range of the behavior of plain and reinforced concrete structures.

Damage Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Using Fractal Analysis of Residual Crack Patterns

Currently, assessing the performance and safety of reinforced concrete structures relies on routine-based visual inspection (VI). Cracks width measurements are commonly used as a convenient indicator of damage; however other factors, such as distribution and pattern of the cracks should be considered equally important in measuring the extent of damage present in the structure. As a result, condition assessed by VI is subjective in nature and depends on the experience, knowledge, expertise, and judgment of the inspector carrying out the assessment. A new approach based on the fractal analysis of residual crack patterns is proposed in this paper to assess the structural integrity of reinforced concrete elements. A new damage index is presented to quantitatively perform a damage classification. The methodology is validated through experimental studies on two large-scale reinforced concrete shear walls subjected to a displacement controlled reversed cyclic loading. Damage grades are also identified based on width of cracks and proposed damage index (DI). The results demonstrate a more accurate estimation of damage grades using DI. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the DI can estimate the relative stiffness loss of the specimens with acceptable accuracy.     

Hybrid approach for two dimensional damage localization using piezoelectric smart aggregates

In the paper, a novel approach for damage localization in reinforced concrete plates, based on the computational analysis of piezoelectric smart aggregates, has been presented. The hybrid approach for damage localization is based on two criteria: wave propagation energy and time of flight. The comprehensive numerical analysis using standard and explicit finite element method has been conducted. In addition, the proposed algorithm of the hybrid method has been coded in MATLAB. The approach has been verified numerically using different square reinforced concrete plate models, considering different number, position and size of damage, as well as different number and position of the piezoelectric smart aggregates. Obtained results confirm the successful application of the novel approach to the damage localization.     

Multiple Crack Detection of Concrete Structures Using Impedance-based Structural Health Monitoring Techniques

This paper presents a feasibility study for practical applications of an impedance-based real-time health monitoring technique applying PZT (Lead–Zirconate–Titanate) patches to concrete structures. First, comparison between experimental and analytical studies for damage detection on a plain concrete beam is made. In the experimental study, progressive surface damage inflicted artificially on the plain concrete beam is assessed by using both lateral and thickness modes of the PZT patches. Then, an analytical study based on finite element (FE) models is carried out to verify the validity of the experimental result. Secondly, multiple (shear and flexural) cracks incurred in a reinforced concrete (RC) beam under a third point bending test are monitored continuously by using a sensor array system composed of the PZT patches. In this study, a root mean square deviation (RMSD) in the impedance signatures of the PZT patches is used as a damage indicator.     

A numerical model for reinforced concrete structures

This paper describes a two-dimensional approach to model fracture of reinforced concrete structures under (increasing) static loading conditions. The first part is dedicated to the concrete material. The concrete is described in compression by a non-local isotropic damage constitutive law. In tension, a fictitious crack/crack band model is proposed. The influence of biaxial stress states is incorporated in the constitutive relations. In the second part a bond model is described. It accounts for different failure mechanisms, a pullout failure and a splitting failure. This approach is applied to prestressed concrete beams with different failure mechanisms. The numerical results are compared to experimental data and show good agreement.
