Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of structural health monitoring and ocean engineering, and particularly relates to a marine environment pile foundation damage identification method based on optical fiber distributed strain monitoring. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of marine resources, the construction of large marine structures such as offshore wind power, cross-sea bridges, deep-sea platforms, etc. is increasing. As an important bearing foundation, offshore pile foundation structures bear the key vertical and horizontal load transmission function, and their structural safety is directly related to the stability and service life of the entire engineering system.

[0003] During long-term service, offshore pile foundation structures are often subjected to the coupling action of multiple complex dynamic loads such as wave impact, tidal current, wind load, earthquake, etc., resulting in structural degradation problems such as cracks, fatigue damage, corrosion, etc. inside the pile foundation. Once the damage develops to a certain extent, it may cause structural stiffness degradation, load capacity reduction or even failure, which seriously threatens the safe operation of offshore facilities. Therefore, establishing a high-precision and practical pile foundation damage identification technology is one of the key research directions in the field of ocean engineering.

[0004] The commonly used pile foundation health monitoring and damage identification methods mainly include:

[0005] ① Acceleration and displacement response method: acceleration or displacement meters are arranged at the top of the pile or the pile body to extract structural dynamic response characteristic parameters for modal identification and damage estimation. However, this method has poor sensitivity to local damage, and it is difficult to obtain the full-length response of the pile foundation, resulting in monitoring blind areas.

[0006] ② Non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic waves and X-rays: mainly applied to local area detection, with high precision, but limited detection range, difficult to be deployed on a large scale in underwater environment, and long cycle and high cost.

[0007] ③ Point-type optical fiber sensing technology (such as FBG): optical fiber Bragg grating sensors are arranged at key positions of the pile foundation to monitor strain or temperature changes, but the spatial distribution is discrete, making it difficult to form a continuous strain field, and cannot meet the global modal analysis requirements.

[0008] The above methods generally have the following shortcomings: spatial distribution is discontinuous, making it difficult to achieve full-length damage identification; the response to local micro-damage is limited, and the identification accuracy is not high; real-time performance and environmental adaptability are poor, making it difficult to meet the long-term monitoring needs in complex marine environments.

[0009] In recent years, with the development of distributed optical fiber sensing technology, especially the distributed optical fiber strain monitoring system based on the principle of Brillouin scattering and Raman scattering, the full-length and continuous strain information of the structure can be obtained, which has the advantages of high resolution, strong anti-electromagnetic interference, and is suitable for harsh environment, etc., which provides a new technical path for the health monitoring of marine pile foundation. On the other hand, the application of modal strain energy analysis method in structural damage identification is gradually increasing. This method can effectively reveal the modal response changes caused by local stiffness changes by calculating and comparing the strain energy distribution of the structure under different modes, and has high damage identification sensitivity and positioning ability. However, there is still a lack of real-time damage identification technology for pile foundation structure in complex marine environment by deeply integrating distributed optical fiber strain monitoring and modal strain energy analysis. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of pile health monitoring and damage evaluation method which integrates continuous strain collection, high-precision modal identification and damage sensitive discrimination, so as to improve the automation and intelligent level of marine structure safety monitoring.
