Abstract

The impact of joint stiffness on vibration transmissibility across concrete pavement joints was analyzed by theoretical analysis, and a vibration-based identification method for joint damage was proposed. Furthermore, laboratory tests were conducted using MTS to verify the influence of local stiffness-loss on vibration transmissibility, with 400,000 loading cycles being applied. In addition, six concrete pavement slabs were constructed to conduct a comparative analysis with the deflection-based method, to further validate the proposed vibration-based method in actual engineering environments. The results indicate that there is a significant correlation between frequency transmissibility and joint stiffness, with a correlation coefficient of over 0.8. The repeated tests conducted on different joints and in different seasons suggest that the stiffness-loss ratio of joints can be identified with an accuracy of ± 0.069, thereby confirming the accuracy and reliability of the proposed damage identification method.
