A new method was proposed for the damage identification of box girder bridges under moving load, wherein the difference of strain influence line (DSIL) was taken as an index to represent the long-gauge strain difference before and after damage. The damage identification theory based on long-gauge strain influence lines was derived for box girder bridges with shear lag effect under consideration, and a regularized index DSIL was proposed for the quantitative identifications of damage location and extent. A series of experiments were carried out to study the influences of speed, vehicle type, and vehicle weight on the damage identification, and the experimental data were obtained by long-gauge fiber Bragg grating strain sensors. Moreover, numerical simulations were performed to confirm the method. The experimental and numerical results show that the method can locate the damage accurately, and quantitatively identify the damage extent under different working conditions. The experimental damage extent is generally slightly higher than the theoretical, with an average identification error smaller than 5%. Additionally, the relative error of damage extent is smaller than 3% under different working conditions. Thus, the effectiveness of this method was verified.
