If the early damage of bridge structures can be identified timely and accurately, the theoretical significance, the social and economic benefits can be undoubtedly achieved, and the sudden failure or collapse, and other catastrophic accidents may be avoided. In this study, a damage identification method based on the response surface model updating and the element modal strain energy damage index was proposed for bridge structures. The effectiveness of the proposed damage identification method was examined using the model test of the simply supported steel beams. A prestressed continuous rigid frame bridge with large span, named Xiabaishi Bridge, was taken as an engineering case, and different bearing damage conditions were modeled to validate the proposed damage identification method using numerical simulations. It is revealed that the element modal strain energy damage index is very sensitive to the cracking damage and the bearing damage. The locations and levels of multiple cracking damages and bearing damages can be identified using the proposed damage identification method. Hence, the proposed damage identification method has the great potential in the damage identification of practical engineering structures.
