The prestressed concrete cable-stayed truss T- frame bridge is a novel type and complex structure. Truss damage is a common form of distress in this type of bridge. For studying the mechanical properties of truss members under the condition of the truss rod, a finite element model is established for analyzing the damage or failure of the truss rod. The effects on the deflection and frequency are compared and analyzed under the condition of damage or failure of the truss rod. The results show that the damage of the truss members has a significant effect on the deflection and frequency of the main beam. The damage of the upper chord affects the deflection of the entire T-beam, and the damage scope of the web member is limited to the abdominal area. The relationship between the damage of the truss members and the deflection of the main beam is nonlinear. Damage to truss members results in a reduction in fundamental frequency. Whole bridge truss damage has a more significant effect on frequency. Upper chord damage has a more significant effect on frequency than web members.
