Abstract In recent years, the vehicle scanning method for bridge inspection has drawn much attention by researchers
because of its simple operation and high efficiency [1]. Besides the natural frequency, modal modes and
other information of bridges, damage can also be detected in this way [2]. For example, we proposed the
passive tap-scan damage detection method [3], which scans the bridge with the tapping force generated by
a toothed wheel, mimicking the hunting behavior of woodpeckers. In this talk, we will discuss two critical
aspects related to the mechanism of this method. One is the quantitative… More >
