Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to a method and system for predicting the lifespan of bridge cables in corrosive environments based on data analysis. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of modern urbanization, bridges, as vital transportation infrastructure, not only bear the heavy responsibility of transportation but also support socio-economic development. However, with accelerated industrialization and intensified environmental pollution, bridge corrosion has become an increasingly serious problem, a significant factor restricting bridge safety and service life. Bridge construction often focuses on design and construction, while insufficient attention is paid to material corrosion and its impact during long-term operation. This has led to many bridges experiencing unforeseen safety hazards after decades of use, and even partial or complete structural failure. With increased awareness of infrastructure safety, countries have begun to emphasize bridge monitoring and maintenance, driving the development of related technologies.
[0003] Existing bridge cable corrosion prediction technologies still face numerous challenges. First, many traditional assessment methods rely on experience or periodic inspections, making real-time monitoring difficult and failing to adapt flexibly to changes in the actual environment. This inadequacy not only reduces maintenance efficiency and leads to delayed responses to corrosion, but can also cause accidents and incalculable losses when cable corrosion worsens. Second, due to a lack of accurate data collection and analysis, many assessment results are often flawed, making bridge maintenance decisions less scientific. This situation not only increases bridge maintenance costs but may also create safety hazards at critical moments, threatening traffic safety. Therefore, data-driven systems urgently need to fill this technological gap to achieve scientific and efficient bridge maintenance management. Summary of the Invention
