This study proposes a sensitive and baseline-free method to evaluate the health status of a 1018 steel I-beam by measuring its material nonlinearity using a new nonlinearity parameter defined for Rayleigh waves. This parameter yields a true value of material nonlinearity using the Rayleigh wave harmonics obtained from the experiments carried out at the intact and impacted states of the I-beam. Accordingly, the evaluated nonlinearities are inherent and damaged induced respectively. The results show that, for an intact sta
