Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent monitoring technology for the operational safety of civil engineering structures, specifically involving a cross-diagnosis method for bridge cluster pavement damage based on the spatiotemporal correlation of dynamic deflection. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge impact-related defects refer to a form of damage where the bridge structure experiences increased impact from traffic loads after damage to bridge deck components, leading to further structural damage. my country has a large number of bridges and complex vehicle traffic, resulting in a very high probability of impact-related defects, including bridge deck damage, expansion joint defects, damage at bridge deck continuity points, and damage to bridge approach slabs. The most significant factors causing impact-related defects are damage to the bridge deck and pavement. Bridge pavement is designed to protect the main beams from direct vehicle traffic and to distribute loads. During the bridge's service life, material aging, environmental corrosion, the effects of overloaded vehicles, and other accidents cause damage to the pavement, such as rutting, cracking, potholes, and surface abrasion. This severely affects the bridge's structural performance, further increasing the impact effect from traffic loads and exacerbating the aforementioned bridge deck defects as well as other types of structural defects, creating potential safety hazards.
[0003] Currently, bridge pavement damage diagnosis mainly relies on methods such as direct identification using manual labor or other equipment, and identification based on dynamic characteristics. These methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and struggle to provide timely and effective diagnosis of bridge pavement damage. In recent years, bridge structural health monitoring technology has been systematically developed for long-span bridges, achieving significant application results and providing strong support for solving the problem of bridge pavement damage diagnosis. Bridge structural health monitoring systems can achieve real-time acquisition of bridge structural monitoring data without interrupting traffic. However, bridge structural monitoring data is susceptible to environmental factors, and how to effectively utilize this data to achieve effective diagnosis of bridge pavement damage remains a challenging problem. Summary of the Invention

A bridge cluster is defined as a set of multiple identical or similar bridges. By utilizing the characteristics of the bridge cluster, the spatiotemporal correlation of deflection monitoring data is constructed, thereby achieving effective diagnosis of pavement damage in the bridge cluster.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this invention utilizes the spatiotemporal correlation of deflection monitoring data and combines the characteristics of similar bridge cluster structures and load correlation to construct a bridge deck damage diagnostic factor.

[0057] Implementation example:
[0058] This implementation example uses a finite element model of an actual bridge cluster as a case study to verify the effectiveness of the proposed cross-diagnosis method for bridge cluster pavement damage based on the spatiotemporal correlation of dynamic deflection. The bridge cluster consists of five identical 20m span simply supported hollow slab beam bridges, named Bridge A, Bridge B, Bridge C, Bridge D, and Bridge E. Their structural parameters are shown in Table 1, and the ANSYS finite element models are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The bridge is modeled using BEAM188 elements, and the concrete grade is C50. When simulating the action of a moving vehicle, a simplified spring-damped mass block is used, with the mass element simulated using MASS21 elements and the spring damping using COMBIN14 elements. The displacement coupling method, commonly used in ANSYS vehicle-bridge coupling, is employed for simulation. When the vehicle moves to the main beam node, the degrees of freedom of the vehicle and the main beam node are coupled to obtain the dynamic deflection response of the main beam.
[0059] Simulated pavement damage was performed on Bridge C. The cross-diagnosis results and damage discrimination decision results for a single pavement damage incident are as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown. From Figure 3 As can be seen, even with minor damage to the C bridge deck, a single cross-diagnosis of bridge deck damage can clearly identify the damaged bridge. Further considering the impact of random factors, from... Figure 4 The results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively identify the damage of Bridge C. Although the damage discrimination factors of the other bridges fluctuate with the increase of the number of evaluations, they are still far below the threshold, effectively avoiding misdiagnosis in a single damage diagnosis.
