Vibration -based damage identification techniques have gained popularity immensely in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). Frequency response function (FRF)-based damage quantification is mainly performed based on iterative model updating techniques. Most of these methods are time-consuming and erroneous in higher modes. Spectral element method (SEM) can overcome some of these limitations and can determine FRF expression directly for a broad class of civil structures. However, a closed -form expression for multiple damage severity is not proposed to date. In this study, an FRF-based formulation for quantifying damage has been proposed with the help of SEM in order to bypass the mode shape extraction for damage identification. To determine the effectiveness of the proposed formulation both numerical and experimental studies have been performed. A numerical simulation has been performed on a 14 -storey shear building. Damage has been introduced by reducing the storey stiffness at intermediate and adjacent storeys. It has been perceived that damage severity at any storey can be estimated with only 3 sensors, one at the top storey and two others at the adjacent floors of the desired storey. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed expression, an experimental study has been carried out on a 9 -storey miniature model. It has been observed that the first resonating peak amplitudes of the responses recorded simultaneously at desired locations of intact and damaged structures are sufficient to estimate the damage intensity. Thus, the proposed formulation is efficient as an output measurement -based approach. The novelty of this study lies in the proposed closed -form FRF-based multi -damage severity expression involving minimum number of sensors and without any information on the input excitation. The results obtained from both numerical and experimental study showcase the robustness, simplicity and applicability of the proposed formulation.
