  • Patent number: 11680848
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for identifying a modal frequency of a beam bridge by considering influence of environmental temperature. The method includes the following steps: installing a sensor on a newly-built beam bridge without damage, measuring a dynamic response of the beam bridge cinder ambient excitation, recording temperature data, processing by a modal parameter identification method to obtain a modal frequency value at the temperature, and starting from a modal frequency corresponding to the temperature, carrying out iterative calculation to obtain the modal frequency at any temperature. The modal frequency value at any temperature is obtained by arranging a small number of sensors and carrying out a small number of tests, so that the influence of the temperature on the modal frequency is quantified, furthermore, the part of environmental influence is eliminated in future damage evaluation of the beam bridge, which allows for a more accurate damage evaluation result.
