Fig. 2: Damage scenarios tested and validation of computational simulations.
From: Latent resistance mechanisms of steel truss bridges after critical failures
a, Locations of the nine damage scenarios tested experimentally. b, Reproducing the loss of a component by cutting it. c, Classification of components according to their load-bearing function. d, Complete experimental protocol. e, Simulation of a damage scenario. f, Level of agreement between simulation predictions and experimental records (computed as 1 − the relative error). Distributions are shown for displacements and strains using bounded kernel density plots.
