Abstract
Determining the optimal location of sensors in order to identify modal parameters in large structures such as dams is one of the most important and widely used topics in damage detection and health monitoring of structures. In this research, the modal parameters including the natural frequency and mode shape of two arched concrete dams have been calculated using the finite element method for healthy and damaged dams. The reduction of the elastic modulus of concrete in different parts and percentages has been used as the degree of damage. Then, using the modal confidence criterion (MAC) method, the optimal location of the sensors is determined, then the results of this method are compared with the new method. The results show that in both dams, the new method matches the MAC method with 90% accuracy. This new method is a fast and suitable measure to determine the optimal location of sensors in arched concrete dams.
期刊介绍:
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering is a peer reviewed scientific journal published by the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. It was founded in 1957. Publication frequency: quarterly.
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering publishes both research and application oriented papers, in the area of civil engineering.
The main scope of the journal is to publish original research articles in the wide field of civil engineering, including geodesy and surveying, construction materials and engineering geology, photogrammetry and geoinformatics, geotechnics, structural engineering, architectural engineering, structural mechanics, highway and railway engineering, hydraulic and water resources engineering, sanitary and environmental engineering, engineering optimisation and history of civil engineering. The journal is abstracted by several international databases, see the main page.
