In this paper, we propose a damage detection and localization algorithm for steel truss bridges using a data-driven approach under varying environmental and loading conditions. A typical steel truss bridge is simulated in ANSYS for data generation. Damage is introduced by reducing the stiffness of one or more members of the truss bridge. The simulated acceleration time-history signals are used for the purpose of damage diagnosis purpose. Vibration data collected from healthy bridges are processed through principal component analysis (PCA) to find the reduced size weighted feature vectors in model space. Unknown test vibration data (healthy or damaged) finds the closest match of its reduced size model from the training database containing only healthy vibration data. The residual error between the spread of closest healthy vibration data and unknown test vibration data is processed to determine damage location and severity of the damage to the structure. A comparative study between a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based damage detection algorithm and proposed algorithm is presented. The results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient to identify the damage location and assess the severity of damage, called as the Damage Index (DI), under varying environmental and moving load conditions.

Through theoretical calculation, systemic analysis of dynamic performance of the 64m single and double line railway steel truss bridges on the expanding condition and conventional condition. Contrast and analysis the main dynamic performance parameters of bridges on the two kinds of operating condition. In 64m steel truss bridges of Shuozhou-Huanghuagang Railway application practice proves that on expanding heavy-load condition, the main dynamic performance parameters of bridges are slightly larger than conventional condition, but the variation law of vertical acceleration of mid-span is different.
