Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge multi-frequency identification methods, and particularly relates to an indirect bridge multi-frequency identification method based on vehicle-road-bridge information decoupling. Background Technology

[0002] my country has the largest number of bridges currently in service in the world. As these bridges age and their service environment deteriorates, the load-bearing capacity of some bridges with low design standards and long service lives is facing severe challenges. Furthermore, early bridge construction in my country generally emphasized construction over maintenance, resulting in insufficient routine upkeep and delayed detection of damage, which can easily lead to safety hazards. Traditional bridge health monitoring methods require a large number and variety of sensors, are expensive, and have short lifespans, necessitating frequent maintenance and replacement.

[0003] Vehicle-response-based bridge modal scanning is a novel bridge system identification method that has emerged in recent years. This technology uses moving vehicles to sense, receive, and analyze relevant data from the bridge system to achieve rapid identification of urban bridge systems. The core idea of ​​this method is based on a vehicle-bridge coupled dynamics model, which considers that vehicles simultaneously act as both a "load excitation system" and a "signal receiving system" when crossing a bridge. On the one hand, the force exerted by the vehicle load on the bridge causes vibrations; on the other hand, the vehicle-bridge coupling relationship is used to indirectly collect modal information about the bridge from the vehicle response. Since the vehicle response contains information about both the vehicle and the bridge within the coupled system, by suppressing or eliminating the influence of vehicle-specific and environmental factors in the vehicle response, relevant bridge information can be obtained from the vehicle response.

[0004] The commonly used method is to indirectly identify bridge frequencies based on the frequency domain response of vehicles. There are also a few bridge frequency indirect identification techniques based on random subspace identification. However, these methods (1) are difficult to completely eliminate the adverse effects of road surface unevenness and vehicle information on bridge frequency identification, and (2) have a large limitation on vehicle speed, usually only 1 to 2 m / s.
