Monitoring the damage evolution of existing concrete structures is critical for efficiently planning infrastructure maintenance and for selecting the optimal time for repairing or strengthening. The approach for detecting and locating damage in concrete structures depends on the measured vibration response of the structure and the type of sensors used for measurements. This paper proposes a damage identification approach for Ultra-High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) beams based on the estimated modal properties of the beam from vibration measurements. First, the effect of different levels of damage on the dynamic response of the beam is investigated numerically in the finite element software ABAQUS. Dynamic impact tests have been performed on several beams specimens with increasing levels of damage and vibration responses have been measured on several locations of the specimens through accelerometers. Automated operational modal analysis is applied to the data to obtain the modal frequencies and mode shapes, which are then analyzed to validate the proposed damage detection algorithms. The results indicate that the detection and localization of defects can be achieved in the presence of measurement noise. Further analyses need to be performed to determine the probability of detection as a function of the level of damage, damage location, and the number of defects.
