Accurate damage location diagnosis of frame structures is of great significance to the judgment of damage degree and subsequent maintenance of frame structures. However, the similarity characteristics of vibration data at different damage locations and noise interference bring great challenges. In order to overcome the above problems and realize accurate damage location diagnosis of the frame structure, the existing convolutional neural network with training interference (TICNN) is improved in this paper, and a high-precision neural network model named convolutional neural network based on Inception (BICNN) for fault diagnosis with strong anti-noise ability is proposed by adding the Inception module to TICNN. In order to effectively avoid the overall misjudgment problem caused by using single sensor data for damage location diagnosis, an integrated damage location diagnosis method is proposed. Taking the four-story steel frame model of the University of British Columbia as the research object, the method proposed in this paper is tested and compared with other methods. The experimental results show that the diagnosis accuracy of the proposed method is 97.38%, which is higher than other methods; at the same time, it has greater advantages in noise resistance. Therefore, the method proposed in this paper not only has high accuracy, but also has strong anti-noise ability, which can solve the problem of accurate damage location diagnosis of complex frame structures under a strong noise environment.
