Abstract

A triangular model base on an investigation which has done by Sinha et al. has been developed for evaluating embedded crack localization in beam-column structures. In the assessment of this member’s behavior, the effects of displacement slope are necessary. In order to propose a crack localization method for embedded crack, an efficient static data based indicator is proposed for this crack in Euler-Bernoulli beam-columns under axial load effect. A finite element procedure is implemented for calculating the Static responses. Then, base on a central finite difference method, the slope and curvatures of horizontal displacements are evaluated. For this purpose, a simply supported beam-column and a two-span beam-column are considered and two different scenarios base on the damage of one element (single damage) and multiple elements (multiple damages) by considering the noise have been assessed. The numerical results have shown that this crack localization method has considerable accurate.
