Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of bridge state diagnosis, and particularly relates to a bridge health state prediction and early warning method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bridges can be seen everywhere in China, and bridge collapse will cause serious threat and loss to the development of human society and the safety of people's life and property. In recent years, bridge collapse has occurred from time to time in China, and with the rapid increase in the number of vehicles in China, combined with the fact that overloading driving is common everywhere, this directly leads to the fact that the bearing capacity and health state of the bridges designed and constructed many years ago gradually decrease over time. Due to the complexity of the structure of the bridge, bridge early warning has always been the focus and difficulty of many studies, and there is a great need for an effective early warning method at present, so it is necessary to predict and early warn the health state of the bridge.

[0003] The core idea of local mean decomposition (LMD) is to adaptively decompose a complex non-stationary multi-component signal into several product function (PF) sums with physical meaning of instantaneous frequency, wherein each PF component is directly calculated from an envelope signal and a pure frequency modulation signal. The envelope signal is the instantaneous amplitude of the PF component, and the instantaneous frequency of the PF component can be directly calculated from the pure frequency modulation signal. The complete time-frequency distribution of the original signal is obtained by combining the instantaneous amplitude and the instantaneous frequency of all PF components. The LMD algorithm can decompose complex nonlinear bridge state data and external environmental data into several PFs with physical meaning. Grey relation analysis (GRA) is a method for calculating the similarity or difference between variables in terms of development trend, and can be used as a method for measuring the degree of correlation between factors. Bidirectional long-short term memory (BiLSTM) is a kind of time recurrent neural network, and the BiLSTM model is composed of forward and backward LSTM models. The forward LSTM can obtain past data information of the input sequence, and the backward LSTM can obtain future data information of the input sequence. The training process of the forward LSTM and the backward LSTM of the data can further improve the global integrity of feature extraction. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a bridge health state prediction and early warning method, which uses the time-frequency analysis LMD method to analyze and decompose the bridge state data, solves the shortcomings of time-frequency analysis method aliasing and end effect, better maintains the integrity of the data, solves the problems of gradient disappearance and gradient explosion when predicting the bridge state by using artificial intelligence algorithm, and solves the problem that external environmental influence factors cannot be effectively selected, thereby reducing the prediction accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above technical purposes and effects, the present application is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present application provides a bridge health state prediction and early warning method, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: data acquisition, using sensors to monitor the bridge state in real time, obtaining bridge state data, including bridge deflection, crack length, vehicle load on the bridge surface, etc. ; using monitoring equipment to monitor the factors affecting the bridge in real time, obtaining external environment data, including rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind size, etc. ;

[0008] S2: data correction, respectively setting threshold values to compare the obtained bridge state data and external environment data, and correcting the data exceeding the threshold value, the corrected data being the arithmetic mean of the first 5 data and the last 5 data of the data exceeding the threshold value;

[0009] S3: establishing a bridge state prediction model, using LMD algorithm to decompose the obtained bridge state data and external environment data, respectively, to obtain multiple different frequency PF components and u k of the bridge state data and external environment data; k , which constitutes a subsequence, and the actual cumulative data is equal to the sum of each subsequence;

[0010] After obtaining each subsequence of the bridge state data and external environment data, the correlation degree of each subsequence of the bridge state data and each subsequence of the external data is calculated using the GRA algorithm, and if the correlation degree is greater than a preset value, it is determined that the correlation is greater, and the subsequence of the external data is related to the subsequence of the bridge state data;

[0011] S4: model training, selecting the input variable of the bridge state data subsequence with a correlation value greater than a preset value for prediction, using a BiLSTM model for prediction, and dividing the data into a training set and a test set at a fixed ratio, the training set being responsible for the parameters of the model, and the test set being responsible for verifying and evaluating the performance of the model;

[0012] S5: model verification and evaluation, after the training is completed, inputting the test set into the BiLSTM model to obtain the final prediction result, and comparing it with the actual measurement value to evaluate the prediction performance of the model; comparing the prediction value with the pre-set threshold value to obtain the early warning result.

[0021]

[0022] Where q represents the number of iterations, and the first PF1(t) is as follows:

[0023] PF1(t)=s 1q (t)×α1(t);

[0024] Subtracting PF1(t) from the original signal X(t) yields a new signal, and repeating the above steps yields PF2(t). These steps are repeated until the last signal becomes a constant or contains no further oscillations, thus obtaining the residual signal u. k Therefore, the original signal X(t) can be decomposed into PF components and u. k The sum of (t):

The training set data is used to train the model, and the model has forward propagation and back propagation during training; each training iteration calculates y t t t t t t f o i c f i o c t The value obtained by subtracting H t and y t is added to obtain the total error, and the total error is respectively derived from the forgetting gate weight w f , the output gate weight w o , the input gate weight w i , the alternative state weight w c , the forgetting gate bias b f , the input gate bias b i , the output gate bias b o , and the alternative state bias b c The derivative of the sum of the error terms with respect to each weight is derived from the forgetting gate weight w f , the output gate weight w o , the input gate weight w i , the alternative state weight w c , the forgetting gate bias b f , the input gate bias b i , the output gate bias b o , and the alternative state bias b c The derivative obtained is subtracted from the product of the learning rate to become the new forgetting gate weight w f , the output gate weight w o , the input gate weight w i , the alternative state weight w c , the forgetting gate bias b f , the input gate bias b i , the output gate bias b o , and the alternative state bias b c ; the loop is iterated until a set number of times or the total error is less than a set value, and the model training is completed;

[0070] ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The model uses the test set data to predict, obtains a prediction result, only forward propagation is used in the prediction, and six sub-sequences of the bridge deflection state are respectively predicted, as shown in Figures 11 to 16

[0071] The predicted sub-sequences are added to obtain a final deflection value prediction, as shown in Figure 17 The final prediction result is compared with the actual measured value, and a difference between the two is used as an evaluation standard to evaluate the prediction performance of the model. The prediction value is compared with a pre-set threshold value to obtain a warning result.

It can be understood that various changes, modifications and improvements can be easily made by those skilled in the art. Such changes, modifications and improvements are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the present application.​
