In the present era, health of the structure is of great concern to avoid further hazards caused by deterioration of the structure. So due importance should be given to health aspect of a structure because health defines the long term performance of the structure. Health monitoring is the detection of the overall health of a structure, which includes cracking, spalling of concrete and anything which disturbs the utility of the structure. Many researchers are engaged in detection of cracks with the help of vibration analysis. This method of detection of cracks has been considered as an cost effective and reliable method of health monitoring. The effect of crack location and depth of crack on the natural frequencies and mode shapes has been reviewed in this paper. The type of crack, its location and depth are the main governing parameters in this study and result parameters are mode shapes and frequencies. The experiment is performed on test beams by using fast forrier analyser, accelerometer and hammer. Validation of experimental results will be done by SAP 2000.
