A steel-concrete composite beam element for structural damage identification. (English) Zbl 1535.74615

Summary: The composite action between the layers of steel and concrete is governed by the shear connection. Because of the complicated interconnection behavior of these composite layers, it is difficult to detect damage in the composite structures, especially, the interfacial integrity of the two layers. In this paper, anovel method has been developed for structural damage identification of composite structures based on a steel-concrete composite beam element with bonding interface. In displacement-based finite element (FE) formulation, three damage indicators have been embedded into stiffness matrix of the composite beam that are defined as a stiffness reduction in the concrete, steel and interface layers. An algorithm-based on recursive quadratic programming has been proposed to identify structural damage in the composite beam from static measurements. The analytical FE model is validated by adapting its static responses in undamaged state with those obtained from an equal experimental model as well as a FE model developed in commercial software ABAQUS. A convergence study is conducted to determine the number of the composite beam FEs. To verify the proposed method, the static responses of the FE model with different damage cases at a given loading are calculated, and the measurements are simulated by adding different levels of white noise. Then, the proposed algorithm is applied to identify damage of the composite beam. The effects of measurement noise, loading location and amplitude, measurement numbers and the sizes of FE mesh on the identified results have been investigated. The numerical results show that this method is efficient and accurate to separately identify small damage in the concrete slab, and the steel girder and bonding interface of the composite beam.
