Damage detection method of columnar structures, damage detection device and program

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting damage of a columnar structure, which is capable of detecting the presence of damage, the degree of damage, and a damage direction of the columnar structure in a short time and at a low cost, without depending on variations in the columnar structure.SOLUTION: A vibration generator set between a bottom end and a tip end of a concrete column 1 generates vibrations for swinging the entire concrete column, in multiple horizontal directions. The vibrations for swinging the entire concrete column are received by a receiving sensor 3 installed between the bottom end and the tip end. A damage detection device 10 replaces time-series waveforms in respective circumferential directions, which are received by the receiving sensor 3, by a frequency distribution, extracts a time domain in which vibrations in an excitation direction are dominant, from the replaced frequency distribution, and calculates differences between dominant frequencies in the time domain in which the vibrations in the excitation direction are dominant, for respective circumferential directions. The damage detection device 10 displays a graph of the calculated differences of the dominant frequencies in respective circumferential directions and analyzes the differences of the dominant frequencies for respective circumferential directions to determine the presence of damage, the degree of damage, and a damage direction.
