Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of experimental devices, in particular to a real-time monitoring test device for local scouring based on acoustic principles. BACKGROUND

[0002] The safety and stability of bridge foundations in complex marine environments depend not only on the stress conditions under load, but also on the reduction of pile bearing capacity caused by local scouring. Local scouring can reduce the effective embedded length of the foundation, thereby affecting the stiffness and dynamic characteristics of the bridge, ultimately threatening the service safety of the bridge.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a real-time monitoring device for local scouring based on acoustic principles. Acoustic monitoring can monitor the interaction between water flow and structural foundation in real time, provide timely warning of scouring problems, and prevent accidents. Compared with traditional methods, acoustic monitoring has high precision, high sensitivity, and less environmental interference, and can adapt to complex water conditions, reduce labor costs and safety risks. Combined with big data and artificial intelligence technology, the acoustic monitoring system can provide intelligent analysis and prediction to support infrastructure maintenance, promote the development of intelligent monitoring, and contribute to sustainable development and ecological protection.
