Good day to everyone,
I am working on all the possible methods and techniques for the health moniting of steel bridges. Main focus is on short to medium span steel bridges. There is a major difference between the failure patterns between steeel and concrete bridges. In case of concrete bridges cracks can play a key role for the detection the structural stability and find defficiencies in any specific span. There are many techniques in which we analyze the cracks. Somehow i have no idea how can we analyze a steel bridge for the purpose of health monitoring apart from making finite element models and numerical simulaitons. If anyone is working on steel bridges for detection of structural stability kindly share some knoweldge. I am going to start a new project about health monitoring of steel bridges. I want to work on artificial intellegence, nueral network and machine learning but stuck on a single idea
thank you
Dear Mateen Ali
Check out the following paper:

if the bridge is Welded Steel bridge, this paper can help you.

I used modal testing for health monitoring 23 years ago.
Dear Faran Ali,
There is limited research regarding damage detection and SHM on steel bridges of short and medium spans (actual structures). However, the following paper should be relevant to what you describe. This paper also include references that could be helpful.
