Neural Network Method for Real-time Earthquake Induced Damage Assessment
It is expected that damages of transportation link including highway bridges cause serious interference of traffic function and recovery efforts, when a large earthquake occurs to a densely populated urban area. This research proposes the method of assessing the damages of bridge pier to provide real time earthquake damage information for disaster mitigation. Dynamic experimental data were used to verify the proposed method. Amplitude ratio and phase difference which corresponded well to the damages were selected a damage index. The proposed method is able to provide the useful information for damages more quickly than frequency domain analysis method.
