Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge monitoring, and in particular to a real-time monitoring and evaluation method for bridges based on beam end displacement and rotation angle. Background Art
[0002] As key nodes in transportation networks, the safety and reliability of bridges are crucial. As bridges age and traffic volumes continue to grow, they gradually experience damage and performance degradation. Traditional bridge monitoring methods, which often rely on manual inspections, suffer from low efficiency, strong subjectivity, and difficulty detecting early signs of subtle damage. These methods cannot meet the demands of modern bridge real-time monitoring and rapid assessment. While existing technologies for structural health monitoring widely utilize various sensors and data analysis methods, they are limited by single-parameter monitoring or linear models and struggle to fully capture the nonlinear behavior and subtle changes in structures under complex operating conditions. For example, traditional methods lack sufficient sensitivity and adaptability to handle data fluctuations caused by sudden loads or environmental changes, potentially leading to misjudgments or omissions of potential structural risks. Furthermore, reliance on a single data source or parameter limits the monitoring system's ability to identify structural behavior patterns under the influence of complex and variable factors. This limitation is particularly pronounced for large structures such as bridges, where structural responses are influenced by multiple factors, including load variations, material fatigue, and environmental conditions. Existing technologies fail to provide a systematic solution that fully utilizes the interactive responses of multiple parameters, which often leads to incomplete assessments of structural health status, affecting the timeliness and accuracy of maintenance decisions, and may increase maintenance costs or risks if problems are not identified in a timely manner. Summary of the Invention

The variational parameters of the state variables are updated according to the current observation values and the state transfer equation. The variational parameters of the mutation point are updated according to the characteristics of the residual sequence and prior information. By comparing the values of the variational lower bound in two adjacent iterations, if the difference is less than the preset threshold, the variational lower bound is considered to have converged. According to the variational distribution after convergence, the position of the mutation point is determined, and the identified mutation point information is output.

Positional encoding is added to each element in the sequence. The anomaly recognition model is built based on the Transformer, GNN, and PINN networks. The Transformer encoder consists of multiple encoder layers, each of which contains a multi-head self-attention mechanism and a feedforward neural network to extract feature information; The feature information is input into the GNN as node features. Each node generates a message based on the features of its neighbor nodes and the information of the edges, and passes the generated message to the adjacent nodes.

[0018] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiment of the present invention is described below. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a bridge real-time monitoring and evaluation method based on beam end displacement and rotation provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps: Step 101: Obtain beam end displacement and rotation angle data collected by the displacement sensor and the rotation angle sensor during a continuous monitoring period, and filter and normalize the collected data to obtain processed data; Step 102: Use the multi-cycle residual clustering identification method of the sedimentation trajectory to construct a discrete curve and perform polynomial curve fitting, calculate the single-cycle residual sequence, determine the edge fluctuation trend point by comparing the residual values of adjacent cycles, and mark the abnormality; Step 103: input the marked abnormal data into the abnormality recognition model, predict the risk level of the bridge structure through the abnormality recognition model, and output the abnormality recognition result; In this embodiment, the marked abnormal data is normalized to obtain a displacement and angle sequence, which is input into the Transformer encoder of the abnormality recognition model, and a position code is added to each element in the sequence, wherein the abnormality recognition model is constructed based on the Transformer, GNN and PINN network; the Transformer encoder is composed of multiple encoder layers, each encoder layer contains a multi-head self-attention mechanism and a feedforward neural network, and feature information is extracted through the multi-head self-attention mechanism and the feedforward neural network; the feature information is input into the GNN as a node feature, and each node generates a message based on the features of its neighboring nodes and the information of the edges, and transmits the generated message to the adjacent nodes; each node updates its own feature representation based on the received message By aggregating the information of neighboring nodes, the topological relationship is learned, the modeling of the topological relationship is deepened through multiple GNN layers, and features reflecting the topological relationship are output; the temporal features output by the Transformer encoder and the topological features output by the GNN are input into the cross-attention mechanism, the attention score between the temporal features and the topological features is calculated, the temporal features and the topological features are weighted and summed according to the attention score, the spatiotemporal feature information is fused, and a comprehensive feature representation is obtained. The fused features are mapped to the risk level space through the fully connected layer to obtain a preliminary risk level prediction result; the PINN network is used to mechanically constrain the preliminary risk level prediction result and map it to the corresponding risk level, output the risk level, and record the corresponding measurement point number and time index.
[0019] In this embodiment, a physical information embedded neural network (PINN) is used: the bridge mechanics equations, such as the equilibrium equations and constitutive equations in structural mechanics, are determined, and the bridge mechanics equations are added as loss terms to the loss function of the model. During the model training process, the total loss function containing the physical information loss term is minimized, so that the model learns feature representations that conform to physical laws, thereby enhancing the generalization of the model.
[0020] In this embodiment, the attention score of each element and other elements in the sequence is calculated, and the dependency relationship in the sequence is paid attention to from different subspaces through a multi-head mechanism. The elements are weighted and summed according to the attention score to obtain the feature representation processed by the attention mechanism. The features output by the attention mechanism are input into a feedforward neural network, and nonlinear transformation is performed to extract features. The attention and feedforward operations are repeated, and the feature extraction is deepened through multiple encoder layers to output features that can reflect the temporal dependency of the displacement and angle sequences.
[0021] Step 104: Output a comprehensive structural response diagnosis report including the measurement point number, time index, risk type and level according to the abnormality identification result.
[0022] In this embodiment, the three typical links of identifying sudden change nodes in the settlement trajectory of the beam end, delineating the local deformation jump section, and locking the abnormal points of the interaction between strain and rotation are comprehensively optimized to construct a joint identification mechanism based on the multi-parameter cross-response characteristics of the time series; the target groups are the technical application end entities such as the bridge structure operation and maintenance units and the development team of the automatic identification system for the structural health status; multiple original physical parameters such as the vertical settlement value of the beam end during the continuous monitoring period, the displacement difference ratio in any time period, the strain differential characteristic sequence, the dynamic change slope of the rotation angle, etc.; key technical contents such as multi-period residual analysis of the settlement trajectory, identification of the critical area of the displacement difference ratio of the beam end, setting of the mapping rule of the intersection of strain and rotation angle, and output of the classification level of abnormal nodes are included.
[0023] In this embodiment, multi-cycle residual clustering for settlement trajectory identification involves selecting representative values from the beam end settlement displacement over five consecutive cycles, constructing a discrete curve with the periodic time series as the horizontal axis, performing a polynomial curve fitting operation, and calculating the point-by-point difference between the actual and fitted values to obtain a single-cycle residual sequence. Based on this sequence, the relative positions of the residual values at each node in adjacent cycles are compared. Residual values at the same position in adjacent cycles are sorted by size, the absolute value of the difference is determined, and the residual continuity state is cross-checked. Points exhibiting marginal fluctuation trends over three or more cycles are identified and flagged as abnormal based on whether they cross the extreme values of the historical residual interval.
[0024] In this embodiment, the displacement difference ratio trend mutation identification and segment expansion: the displacement values of two adjacent sampling periods are obtained from the beam end monitoring time sequence, and after calculating the difference, the difference is deduced by ratio with the difference of the previous period to obtain the difference ratio sequence in the continuous time period. The monitoring rule is set as follows: if the difference ratio shows a numerical multiplication characteristic in three consecutive sampling cycles, and the direction of difference ratio change is consistent with the trend of the adjacent measuring points, then the measuring point is locked as the jump center point. With this point as the core, two points are extended to the left and right measuring points respectively to establish the initial local deformation segment. Determine whether the difference ratio in subsequent sampling of the segment tends to be monotonic. If the monotonic change condition is not met, the segment is frozen and no longer expanded to ensure that the area is included in the subsequent assessment as a key risk segment.
[0025] In this embodiment, the interactive mapping mechanism of the intersection of strain differential and angle slope is as follows: for the same beam end measuring point, its strain value in a continuous time period is extracted, the difference calculation between adjacent time points is performed to form a differential sequence, and the differential surge point is marked; in the corresponding period, the slope of the angle time series is calculated and the slope reversal node is extracted. The strain differential and the angle slope nodes are compared by time index, and the point pairs with overlapping indexes or intervals less than the set threshold are extracted to determine whether the point pairs meet the threshold conditions of consistent slope direction or strain surge amplitude exceeding twice the background mean. If so, it is used as an intersection anomaly point and input into the risk level division logic module. The response level of the anomaly point is set according to parameters such as strain peak value and node density.
[0026] In this embodiment, a multi-source feature collaborative risk level determination and output mechanism is implemented: the set of abnormal points identified in the above three steps is unified on a timeline to determine whether there are areas where multiple types of abnormal features occur in a similar time period. If a concentrated area is found, the system uses these time points as the core window to extract the corresponding deformation parameters, including settlement amplitude, difference ratio series, strain jump rate, corner reversal frequency, etc., and scores them according to the set weights. Based on the level range to which the score belongs, three risk labels are assigned: high, secondary, and basic. A comprehensive structural response diagnostic report containing the measurement point number, time index, risk type, and level is output, providing direct data support for subsequent on-site management and structural maintenance decisions.
[0027] In this embodiment, high-precision displacement and rotation sensors are installed at the ends of the bridge beams. These sensors operate continuously over a continuous monitoring period, covering daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual periods. Displacement and rotation data from the beam ends are collected at pre-set intervals, such as every minute or every hour, to obtain raw data reflecting the real-time status of the bridge structure at different time scales. Data filtering: The collected data may contain various noises, such as sensor errors and external environmental interference. To remove this noise, a filtering algorithm is used to process the data. This filtering operation filters out the noise, making the data smoother and more accurate, and ensuring the reliability of subsequent analysis results. Data normalization: Data collected by different sensors may have different magnitudes and distribution ranges. To make subsequent analysis and processing more unified and effective, the filtered data needs to be normalized. Normalization involves mapping the data to a specific range, such as the [0, 1] interval. This eliminates magnitude differences between different data, improving data comparability and model stability. The preprocessed beam end displacement data is organized according to different time scales (daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual). The time point within each time scale is used as the horizontal axis, and the displacement value at the corresponding time point is used as the vertical axis. These data points form discrete curves at different time scales. Discrete curves can intuitively display the displacement changes of the beam end at different time scales. Polynomial curve fitting is performed on the discrete curves at different time scales. In this way, a suitable curve is found for each discrete data point at each time scale to approximate its variation pattern, resulting in a mathematical model that can describe the overall trend of the subsidence trajectory at different time scales. The single-cycle residual at each time scale is calculated, that is, the difference between the actual displacement data and the corresponding point on the polynomial fitting curve at the corresponding time scale. These residuals are arranged in chronological order to obtain a single-cycle residual sequence at different time scales. The residual sequence reflects the difference between the actual data and the fitting curve, indicating the portion of the data that deviates from the overall trend. Edge fluctuation trend points are identified and anomalies are marked. For single-cycle residual sequences at different time scales, the residual values of adjacent cycles are compared. If the residual value of a cycle shows a significant change compared to adjacent cycles or deviates significantly from the initial value at that time scale, this point may be an edge fluctuation trend point. These edge fluctuation trend points are marked as anomalies for subsequent attention and analysis. At the same time, the residual sequence is statistically analyzed to observe the data distribution characteristics. If a sudden change in the data is found, it is also included in the anomaly mark range. The marked anomaly data at different time scales is input into the pre-trained anomaly recognition model.After being trained on a large amount of data, the model has the ability to identify different types of anomalies. The anomaly recognition model analyzes and judges the input anomaly data, and based on the data characteristics and the patterns learned by the model, predicts the current risk level of the bridge structure at different time scales. Risk levels can be divided into high, medium, and low levels, each representing a different degree of potential safety hazards that the bridge structure may face. After the model completes its prediction, it outputs anomaly recognition results at different time scales, including the corresponding risk level for each measuring point and related anomaly information. These results will provide an important basis for subsequent decision-making. Based on the anomaly recognition results at different time scales, information such as the number of each measuring point, the corresponding time index (accurate to the day, month, quarter, or year), the risk type, and the predicted risk level are collected and organized. At the same time, the results of statistical analysis and regression analysis of long-term monitoring data are integrated into it, and the changing trends of data, the relationship between abnormal situations and time, etc. are explained in detail. This information is the core content of the report and can comprehensively reflect the status of the bridge structure at different time scales. The sorted information is generated according to a certain format and specification to generate a comprehensive structural response diagnosis report containing measurement point number, time index, risk type and level. The report can be in various forms such as charts and text descriptions to intuitively display the risk situation of the bridge structure during the long-term monitoring process, and provide a scientific decision-making basis for the maintenance and management of the bridge. For situations judged to be failure or sub-health, they are highlighted in the report and corresponding recommended measures are given.
[0028] In this embodiment, by introducing a joint identification mechanism for multi-parameter cross-response characteristics in a time series, the accuracy and predictive capabilities of structural health monitoring are significantly enhanced. In particular, in the multi-cycle residual analysis of settlement trajectories, periodic data fitting and comparison of the clustering of residual values within consecutive cycles enable the early identification of potential abnormal nodes, rather than waiting until structural damage manifests before taking action. Furthermore, critical region identification for beam end displacement difference ratios effectively identifies nonlinear jumps in displacement behavior by comparing displacement change ratios at consecutive time points, facilitating the timely detection and response to possible stress concentrations or localized damage. By setting rules for mapping intersections between strain and rotation slope, the system allows correlations between complex stresses and structural responses, increasing the dimensionality and complexity of monitoring data and providing an effective method for locating and preventing potential risks to critical structures. The combination of these technical aspects not only improves the accuracy of early warnings but also deepens problem analysis, thereby avoiding the limitations of over-reliance on a single parameter and achieving a more comprehensive structural health assessment.
