Abstract：A structural damage identification technique based on correlation function analysis of vibration measurements is proposed. An 8-storey steel shear building model has been chosen as the case verification. The results demonstrate that accident change of correlation function amplitudes can be used to locate the damage by comparing the shape changes of damaged and undamaged samples. The value of is effective to determinate that whether the damage has happened or not, and it can be used as a reference method even for structural health monitoring on-line. The parameter K, defined to detect damage degree, corresponds to the theoretical damage level in different cases.
