This paper aims to assess the structural damage caused by fatigue and random impact load using a statistical pattern recognition technology. For experimental studies, a model of cable-stayed bridge was built, and a shaker was to inflict load on the model. Data for damage detection were obtained from the signals of the model on which repetitive load and earthquake load were imposed. Applying the statistical pattern recognition technology which constitutes a control chart by using Mahalanobis distance, a commonly used method for the measurement of statistical distance, we preliminarily assessed structural damage. On the basis of the damage assessment, we developed a Improved Mahalanobis Distance(IMD) to be applicable to a cable-stayed bridge which was damaged by random impact load. Then, we evaluated its performance for the assessment of structural condition. The evaluation showed that the control chart.
