Damping is a fundamental characteristic of bridge structures, reflecting their ability to dissipate energy during vibration. In the design and maintenance of bridges, the damping ratio has a direct impact on the safety and service life of the structure, thus affecting its sustainability. Currently, there is no suitable theoretical method for estimating structural damping at the design stage. Therefore, the modal damping ratio of a completed or under-construction bridge can only be obtained through field dynamic tests to ensure compliance with design specifications. To summarize the latest research findings on bridge structure damping models and identification methods, and to advance the development of damping identification techniques, this paper provides an in-depth review from several perspectives: Firstly, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical framework for structural damping. Secondly, it summarizes the damping models proposed by researchers from various countries. Thirdly, it reviews the research progress on identifying the modal damping ratio of bridge structures using time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain methods based on environmental excitation. It also summarizes the methods and current status of identifying the modal damping ratio using artificial excitation. Finally, the future prospects and conclusions are discussed from three aspects: damping theory, test and identification method and data processing. This research and summary provide a solid theoretical foundation for advancing bridge structural damping theory and identification methods and offer valuable references for bridge operation and maintenance, as well as damage identification. From the perspective of modal parameter identification, it provides a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of bridges.
