Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge engineering, and in particular to a method for quickly identifying the cable forces of a suspension bridge based on unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry. Background Art

[0002] Suspension bridges are widely used in long-span bridges. As the important force transmission component between the main cable and the main beam, the fast and accurate identification of the cable force plays an important role in the safety of the suspension bridge. The existing methods for measuring the cable force of suspension bridges mainly include frequency method, oil pressure method, magnetic flux method and sensor method.

[0003] The frequency method is the most frequently used measurement method at present. Its principle is to artificially excite the sling to make it vibrate, identify the vibration frequency by using acceleration and other methods, and calculate the sling force based on the relationship between frequency and tension. However, due to the coupling of various factors such as boundary conditions and sag, it is inevitable to cause errors in the identification of cable force. In addition, the string vibration model is not suitable for short slings, and the measured short sling force is obviously deviated from the true value.

[0004] The principle of the oil pressure method for measuring cable force is to tension the cable through a hydraulic jack at the anchor position of the cable, but it is only applicable to the construction stage and is difficult to use for daily cable force monitoring;

[0005] The principle of the magnetic flux method is to identify the change of magnetic flux inside the electromagnetic sensor on the cable, and then identify the cable force based on the relationship between the change of magnetic flux and the cable force and temperature. However, the magnetic permeability of the cable is affected by factors such as the material properties and temperature of the cable, and the influence of these factors is variable and difficult to control. Under long-term monitoring, the monitoring results of the cable force will be affected by factors such as the sensor and temperature, resulting in insufficient reliability of the measurement results.

[0006] The sensor method measures the strain, stress and other parameters of the sensor installed on the cable, and monitors the cable force based on the relationship between stress, strain and cable force. The sensor has the characteristics of complex installation and high cost, and the life span problem has not yet been solved, making it difficult to use it for long-term cable force monitoring and measurement.

[0007] The above commonly used cable tension measurement methods are affected by many factors, resulting in limitations in their measurement accuracy and applicability. Currently, there is an urgent need for a fast and accurate cable tension measurement method to facilitate daily cable tension testing of suspension bridges. Summary of the invention

The center of the circle corresponding to this radius is the centroid coordinate (X0, Y0, Z0) of the main cable of this micro-segment. The above operation is performed on all micro-segments to obtain the centroid coordinate (X0, Y0, Z0) of each micro-segment. i0 , Y i0 , Z i0 );
